Positional Profile: 3B/SS
Body: 5-10, 180-pounds.
Hit: RHH. Open stance with hands even to the ear and barrel tilt at launch. Hands have space to work direct to the ball. Flat to slightly uphill path. Works through the middle with the ability to use all fields. Decent lower half use with good direction, bat to ball skills, and barrel control. 68.9 mph bat speed with 9 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 98 max exit velocity, averaged 87.5 mph. 356' max distance.
Arm: RH. INF-72 mph. Short arm action with minimal carry on throws. Ball comes out cleanly but lacks distance, with room to develop more strength and efficiency.
Defense: Approaches the baseball with controlled movements, but tends to stand up before the throw, which can disrupt rhythm. Actions are clean, though there is room to stay lower through the play.
ATH: 7.62 runner in the 60. 1.89 and 4.23 in the 10 and 30 yard splits. 21.10 max vertical.
Vizual Edge: 76.5 Edge Score
Positional Profile: 3B/SS
Body: 5-9, 182-pounds.
Hit: RHH. Hands set high near the top of the head with feet at shoulder width in a slightly open stance, giving him a tall and relaxed look. Controlled leg lift with a soft landing that keeps him slightly open, allowing the hips to clear while showing pop to both gaps and maintaining good posture, with more lower half use still available. 73.5 mph bat speed with 12 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 94 max exit velocity, averaged 88.0 mph. 345' max distance.
Arm: RH. INF-71 mph. Steady arm with playable accuracy, though the release is delayed due to a slower transfer and overall pace.
Defense: Shows a controlled approach but can be late getting down and breaking down to field, occasionally getting caught on in between hops. Footwork is on the slower side with some stabby actions, but he works to stay under control through the play.
ATH: 7.30 runner in the 60. 1.72 and 4.05 in the 10 and 30 yard splits. 20.50 max vertical.
Vizual Edge: 69.32 Edge Score
