SCOUT NOTES
Strong athletic two way player out of Pro 5 Baseball Academy HS. Switch hitting outfielder with power from both sides of the plate, shows more pop from the right side but has good barrel feel from the left side working the ball opposite field. Above average arm from the outfield throwing 88mph and translates it well to the pitching mound reaching 86.6mph on the bump. Solid lower half with a short arm action, spins the ball above average reaching close to 3,000 rpms on his curveball and spins the fastball around 2400 rpms on avg. Has good feel for all 3 pitches being able to repeat his arm slot and throw all pitches for strikes. The uncommitted haire will be someone to keep tabs on the spring at Pro 5 Academy to see if his stock continues to rise.
