Bat speed is quick, uses uphill swing plane and good extension on his finish. Pull side approach. Recorded an outfield position velocity of 81 mph; has a quick exchange, soft hands and consistent feet. Had decent accuracy. Recorded a 60 time of 7.02 at the event. On the mound, showed a quick arm action. Showed some effort in his delivery. Produced a fastball that came in at 76-77 mph with a max of 77 mph; had in the zone control and running action. Has command around the zone on his 11/5 curveball (63-64). His changeup (63-64) has consistent command and fading action. Solid day for the rising sophomore.
