at Redwood HS - Oregon commit; Second look in last couple of weeks, a little more pieces put together for the puzzle, continues to show offensive prowess with ability to do damage and be aggressive to pitches in positive counts, also shows ability to lay off nibble/chase pitches, seems to understand how he is pitched as the team's 3-hole hitter, two strike counts don't take away his aggressive nature while his bat to ball skills stay intact. Broke up a perfect game with two outs in the 4th inning with single to LF in 3-0 count, took his walk when it was presented to him. One defensive miscue on a slowly hit ball that got through him as ball went from turf grass surface to dirt infield surface, there was a chance for a double play in the first inning when opposition had already pushed across a couple of runs, which may have sped him up a bit on that slowly hit ball toward the middle.

vs Drake HS - Oregon commit; Physical lower half, soft hands w/fluid actions at SS, easy arm produces carry, flick/snap throw with confidence, plays below and through ball, deft on receiving short hops from catchers around the bag, physical swing, wristy with ample bat speed, covered entire plate, barrel stays behind ball on outer half, hunts spots to let big swings go with damage intent, big shoulder rotation can pull barrel out of zone a bit early, possesses power and projects for more, run tool falls somewhere in the average/playable range, showed ability to steal a bag while also caught off guard and picked at 1st base in 1st/3rd situation, calm confident demeanor, front of the dugout type with teammates, controls emotions well, plays aggressively.
