Release height varied by 2.0 cm and release side by 3.7 cm across the 22 pitches, with all four pitch types leaving the same slot. Across the eight fastballs alone the figures tighten to 1.5 cm and 3.1 cm.
“He was able to attack the strike zone consistently and showed the ability to throw strikes with confidence. His extension and release point remained remarkably consistent throughout the bullpen session, reflecting a repeatable delivery. He also showed the ability to throw a splitter, cutter, and sweeper, giving him the foundation to develop a well-rounded starter's pitch mix as those pitches continue to improve. As he continues to gain strength and professional experience, I believe both his command and overall pitch quality have considerable room for growth, making him an intriguing long-term starting pitching prospect.”

- Measured on the same day as the bullpen session and the athletic testing.
- The scouting report filed four days later estimates room for roughly 5 kg (11 lbs) of additional functional muscle without cost to athleticism.
