Do you know his pitch mix and speeds?
JC, some of the online reports on him say his 4 seamer has hit 93 before, but usually sits 88-91 and has an average change up and slider.
Basically a bigger version of Josh Tomlin. Doesn't have overpowering stuff, very good command though. I'll have a more detailed writeup of him later today (Saturday).
