Picked up an offer from Sacramento State. Has a quick release and a good trigger. Very tall. Has good footwork and weight transfer. Throws with good velocity over the middle of the field and puts good zip on the ball.

Evaluations are normally subscriber-only but when an athlete subscribes, theirs becomes free for all readers. Subscribing doesn't change who the Scout covers, it changes who gets to see it.
