Summary:
The fastball is ahead of the rest of the profile and it’s a legitimate plus offering. Sitting 93-95 and touching 97 from a high three-quarter slot with riding life that plays especially well at the top of the zone — the carry and deception generate whiff and chase at rates that reflect a genuine weapon rather than just velocity. The simple operation and athletic delivery give the pitch a clean foundation to build from, and the comfort throwing the changeup for strikes gives the profile a functional secondary already in place.

The breaking ball is where the starter path gets defined. A gyro shape and a sweeping curveball are both in development, and the inability to repeat either consistently has created a heavy reliance on the fastball against right-handed hitters — a clear blueprint that advanced pitching staff will exploit if it persists. The changeup flashes impressive depth when the feel is there, though maintaining the shape and avoiding the hanging version is a continued focus. Getting one of the breaking ball shapes to stick as a reliable offering is the developmental priority that separates a mid-rotation ceiling from a reliever outcome.

The stuff and traits give the rotation path genuine credibility — the fastball alone is good enough to carry a starter profile if the arsenal rounds out. The breaking ball development at Southern Miss will be the evaluation to watch as the 2027 draft conversation builds.
