Scouting Report

05/20/18- Uncommitted, standing at 6-foot-3, 225 pounds he has a big, strong frame. On the mound he worked 83-84 mph with a 73 mph changeup and a 66 mph curveball. Defensively, he is first base only, but moves well and is a solid defender at first. Stood out offensively, working gap-to-gap, with present power and an advanced approach. Showed some pull side power in BP, 88 mph exit velo and had a hard hit out and a single in the game. 

11/05/17- The big bodied, 1B/RHP has a strong lower half. He is every bit of 6-foot-2, 220 pound and the strong lower half generates above average pull side power. He shows the ability to drive the ball well enough to stick at first at the next level. On the mound he was interesting as well, showing a heavy fastball at 84-85 mph down in the zone. The big frame and left handed power will make him a follow.
