Positional Profile: 1B/3B Body: 5-foot-10, 155-pounds. Hit: RHH. Wide athletic base, slightly open with athletic bend in the knees. Bat held horizontally with hands at about ear height. Uses a smaller leg kick and creates some length with hands early. Eliminating early length will allow shorter and tighter path to the ball. Power: 86.27 max exit velocity, averaged 75.76 mph. 316’ max distance. High % of fly balls, with how he projects, more line drive contact at this point would put him in a better spot for success. Arm: INF - 73 mph. Throws from a high 3/4 slot. Accurate arm across the diamond. Defense: Hands are soft, good with the glove. Body stays in motion towards first base. Simple and consistent fielding actions. Run: 7.50 runner in the 60. Long strides, would benefit from tighter movements, arm swing and strides are slightly wide.
