Fastball 80 96-97 100 FB 96-97 T100; elite FB velo; plus boring action; tough to square up; elicits ugly swings and weak contact; fair command.

Two plus-plus pitches with more than enough control to dominate hitters. Crushed High-A and was promoted to Double-A, and is still crushing it. Future closer potential.
