Also pitched, showed a loose arm stroke through the back and athleticism to repeat delivery well; fastball topped out at 76 mph with running life through the zone. Feel for secondary pitches will continue to improve, showed both a slider and changeup. Lefthanded hitter, begins with a slightly open stance and a high hand set and back elbow in the box; does a nice job of incorporating lower half into swing and uncoils well into contact.
