RHP/UTIL • R-R • 6-0 • 215 • Fr. •
Sylva, NC

Will see time on the hill right away ... above average fastball (85-87) with curve, slider, and nasty forkball ... competes well ... showed flashed of being a good fielder @ 3b and 1B throughout the fall, and hit the ball well enough in limited time to be considered for time as a DH ... a gamer who comes ready to play.

Should see time out of pen ... good guy for matchups ... great pick off move with superior fielding skills ... instinctual player who plays with good awareness ... played for the talented Carolina Clippers coached by Terry Campbell, Mike Prochaska (King Academy) Tommy Williams (Lexington HS), and Steve Williams (Lancaster HS).
