[edit] Scouting Report
I throw a four-seam and a two-seam fastball like most people, and I throw a circle-change, which is by far my best pitch. I’ve really gotten a good feel for it and I’m not afraid to throw it at any time. I have a curveball that’s been up and down over my Northwestern career. Recently I added a cutter, which has really started being an out pitch for me. I’ve really started to get a good feel for it. The cutter is an out pitch and my changeup I feel (is) good enough to get a strikeout.[1]
