6/23/16 [USA Baseball Tournament of Stars] Explosive tools. During the workout day on Tuesday, he ran a 6.6 and clocked an event-best 96 mph from the outfield. Aside from that, he can flat out play the game. Offensively, the left-handed hitter takes man-hacks in the box without a lot of swing-and-miss. He generates big bat speed and regularly squares up baseballs. On Thursday, he ripped a single up the middle, and flew out twice to centerfield, one that drove in a run. Perhaps what impressed the most, however, was his defensive play during the game. Patrolling centerfield, he covered considerable ground to make a diving catch in right-center and also got a good jump on a ball to deep center that he tracked down. In all, he made six putouts in centerfield.

4/15/16 Virginia commit reached base all four plate appearances on two walks, a scorched single up the middle on a change-up that he stayed through and hard infield single off the pitcher on which he ran a 4.16 down the line. Came on for one inning of mound work in which he pumped fastballs at 87-90 with an aggressive delivery that, at times, spun him off toward third base. Arm strength was also on display when he nailed a runner at the plate on a medium-deep fly ball.

2/30/16 Virginia commit showed impressive tools, running a 3.66 home-to-1B time on a push bunt and coming straight out of center field to record the last three outs of the game on fastball at 87-89.

1/18/16 - Tremendous athlete who ran the 60-yard dash in the 6.7-range and showcased 96-mph arm strength during the defensive workout. During batting practice, the left-handed hitter exhibited a simple, easy stroke and barreled just about everything.

4/21/15 - The athletic Virginia commit has an advanced approach at the plate, showing an ability to stay inside the ball and consistently put the barrel on it with a smooth, left-handed stroke. Good instincts on the bases. Very good arm strength.
