Erik is a tall pitcher who throws with an over-the-top motion. His four-seam fastball tops out in the high 80s (mph). He also features a slider (mid-70s), change-up (mid-70s), and curve (high 60s). His key strikeout pitch is the fastball just above the zone that he gets hitters to chase.
Erik is a two-way player who also plays center field and has a strong throwing arm (low 90s mph).
He is a positive teammate and a vocal leader on the field.
