In the infield, recorded a position velocity of 70 mph; showed a clean exchange, average feet and consistent hands. Showed consistent accuracy to the bases. Clocked a 60 time of 8.14 at the event.

Switch hitting 1B that looked a little more natural swinging from the right side. From the left side of the plate the feet were even and he used a toe tap approach to contact the ball and showed a mostly pull side approach. From the right side the feet were slightly open and he used a small leg to generate juice off the bat and was more middle of the field with this approach. Liked the glove actions at 1B and moved laterally very well. Was very natural moving to the backhand side and the glove worked well on the backhand ball.

The switch hitting corner infielder showed the same approach from both sides of the plate. Started with an open stance and used a small leg kick approach to generate some power of the barrel. Also did a nice job using his lower half and had some definite tilt in the swing, which resulted in some pull side juice from both sides. Natural actions at 1B and was very athletic with the feet. Showed an understanding of the game around the bag and also did a nice job coming off the bat to start a 3-6-3 DP.
