Lanky arm turned in a masterpiece of an outing, going complete game. Over the top arm that works north to south with all his pitches. FB touched 86, while pairing with a 12/6 CB at 66-68 mph. Challenged hitters in the zone with his 2-pitch mix, issuing no walks. Intriguing uncommitted arm with present pitchability.
