June Totals 1-1 9.2 13 6 5 2 11 0 Team 1-1 in starts : 90-93 t94 with modest life in the zone. Some sink and tailing action low in the zone and slight riding life in the upper third.

Curveball: 72-79 - sits below-average to fringy and flashes plus. Lacks consistent desired velocity, shape and feel. Lobs in more 72-74mph cement mixers than you’d optimally prefer. Offering is at its best when it features tight late breaking 11/5 shape and target zone velocity of 77-79 mph. Continued pro instruction should mitigate these mechanical and grip deficiencies.Throws the high spin rate breaking ball for strikes and as a spiked chase pitch out of the zone. Modest gains of consistency could make it a solid bat missing weapon at the highest level.

Changeup: 83-85 - Minimal feel; lacks conviction and consistent arm-speed. Features moderate downward tumble at its best.

Control and Command: Average control and below-average command. Heavy FB/ CB sequencing, spotty command and predictable locations suggest future reliever.

Overall: Modest chance to stick in the rotation; best chance at a big league future is in a relief role. Squint and there’s some Role 40 reliever potential should the command improve and the breaking ball find consistency. An uptick in velocity and / or FB life would definitely help move the needle. High risk profile, with a more realistic outcome of a solid, role 30 high minors depth arm. A nice lottery ticket with some upside, worth keeping an eye on.
