A funky RHP with a high leg kick performed in his outing today, with a ¾ arm slot showcasing that FB that has life running on hitters, no matter what side of the plate they are on. A wipeout SL makes hitters off balance, making it look deceptive with the funky delivery he has. Tunnels his Ch beautifully, gaining weak contact with ease. Strikeout first type pitcher racking 8 of them today in his outing, looking to do more damage going forward in the tournament.
