Too few pitches to judge the mix: 293 in 2026, and the mix and design checks need 400.

Too few pitches to judge his mix: the Pitch Lab needs 400+ (he threw 293 in 2026), so no mix change or pitch idea is tested for him.

Contract & projection

Club control (RosterResource) · Keystone projected WAR

2027 0.1 WAR Pre-arb (est.) $780K*
2028 0.2 WAR Pre-arb (est.) $803K*
2029 0.3 WAR Pre-arb (est.) $828K*
2030 0.3 WAR Arbitration (est.) $1.6M*

* Estimated: RosterResource has no contract row for him, so control through 2032 estimated from his MLB debut (2026-06-12): 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.
