Too few pitches to judge his mix: the Pitch Lab needs 400+ (he threw 349 in 2026), so no mix change or pitch idea is tested for him.

Contract & projection
Club control (RosterResource) · Keystone projected WAR
* Estimated: RosterResource has no contract row for him, so control through 2032 estimated from his MLB debut (2026-07-18): six years of service at the earliest; he isn’t in the contract data, and time in the minors would add seasons; pre-arbitration years at the minimum, arbitration years from Keystone’s arbitration model.
