Scouting Report

Physical 6-foot, 190-pound frame. Right-handed hitter starts from a narrow, open stance using a rhythmic leg kick to generate momentum, working back to square, landing firm with balance throughout the swing. Flashes a short, compact stroke, on plane with good length through contact. In game, shows a patient approach with feel for the strike zone. Flashed big pull-side power in the early going this spring. Showed high end arm strength from the outfield. Projects as a corner guy with enough power potential and arm strength to stick in right. Right-handed pitcher that shows promise on the mound. Uses a clean athletic delivery with good direction and a clean arm path into a high-3/4 slot with quality arm speed. Pitches a 84-86 mph with feel for spin. Dual guy - middle of the order potential with added value in the pen.
