7.3' of extension is off the class scale — at 6'2" that's a release closer to the plate than almost any '28 arm we've charted, and eff velo (89.9 avg) confirms the FB plays above the gun. Two-plane life (15.8" ride / 12.4" run) with a strong 199-lb frame.

The pitch-design move is real: he traded a spinny changeup for a true splitter — 81–84 mph at 1127 rpm, only 5–7 off the FB. Velo arc runs 78–83 (14U Ntl, 7/24) → 87.2 (3/25) → 89.9 (3/26) → 91 in-game (6/15/26). Rankings haven't caught up — PBR slid him to #411 and PG has him at the top-500 line while the '26 data went vertical.
