Scouting Report
Strong, sturdy frame with power levers at 5-foot-10, 185 pounds. Sets up with upright, narrow posture in the box and front foot slightly open. Uses a low forward stride to get into a wider hitting base. Controlled landing with weight centered and hands in a strong, loaded position. Shows a quick, direct path to the ball with powerful hands/wrists at the point of contact. Keeps barrel tight to body & showed the ability to consistently backspin and lift balls to his pull-side. Advanced strength helps him keep everything quiet while holding balance/posture thru finish. Behind the plate, shows an impressive feel for catching. Confident receiver with a soft glove hand. Used a one-knee down set-up while keeping torso tall. When throwing down to 2nd, switched to a crouched position with a compact target. Easy, fluid transition into throwing motion. Short, tight arm action with a high ¾ release. Consistent, accurate ball flight to the bag. Also showed well at 3B, flashing solid footwork and easy arm strength. Stays low while funneling ball in and kept some momentum going while coming thru on the play. On the mound, pitched with a deliberate, controlled delivery and repeatable actions. Stays tall in his lower half with minimal bend/sink as he takes forward stride. Front foot gets down quietly and allows him to accelerate his arm with late intent. Gets exception extension over his front leg with his forward trunk tilt. Keeps eyes on target with a balanced finished after release. Clean, compact arm action with a easy hand speed.
