Scouting Report

7/31/19: FUTURE GAMES  6.89-60, 84-INF

6/11/19: 6-foot, 160-pound SS / 2B. At the plate, starts in an open stance with his hands high and his bat flat behind his head; moves hands to create rhythm; has a small stride before his swing. Stays low throughout swing; 82 mph exit velocity. Stays behind the ball in the field; shows ability to move well in either lateral direction; has quick feet, fast hands and a smooth transfer; 82 mph position velocity. Shows a ton of athleticism and is very solid at SS. Recorded a 60 time of 7.16.


7/24/18: 2021 thin build athletic MIF prospect. Hits from the right side, wide base setup. Hands start high. Uses leg lift trigger with hands working. Hands go directly to the baseball. Swing is short and quick with intent. Showed good line drive ability. In the field showed good actions, soft hands and fluid footwork. Good feel for the SS position. Throws were 77 across the diamond. Very interesting 2021 prospect who has a nice tool set that will continue to improve with added strength.
