Positional Profile: OF/LHP Good athlete with clean actions across the board. With added strength, could be a high follow.
Body: 5-7, 130-pounds. Smaller build, twitchy actions with athleticism.
Hit: LHH. Slightly closed in his setup with some weight on the back side. Hands are held ear height with barrell held flat.  Up and down stride direct to the pitcher. Swing is loose and wants to work to the middle of the field. Inside path to the baseball. Best success is when he gets to the top half.

Arm: LH. OF - 79 mph. Throws from a 3/4 slot. Arm action is clean with good arm speed. Some inconsistencies with accuracy of throws. Best throws were low and through the cut.
Defense: Smooth fielding actions and consistent with footwork and timing to release. Glove work is good.
Run: 7.22 runner in the 60. Good runner, have seen better 60 times in the past and speed plays well on the diamond.
