Additional Comments:
I'm a sinkerball pitcher who features a changeup as the premiere offspeed pitch, but I also have a curveball I'm equally confident with. All in all though, I'm very confident with my fastball and that is my bread and butter. I'm not a fireballer by any means, but I have been clocked as high as 85. I would say that my greatest asset that sets me apart from players with some similar physical capabilities is that I'm very competitive on the mound and I have a wealth of experience against competition of all levels, leaving me where I'm never rattled or intimidated.
