10-24-2018: Medium frame with length through torso and lean muscle in legs; frame can continue to mature and add some upper half strength. At the plate utilizes an open stance with slight crouch while hands stay high with high back elbow and flat bat floating above back shoulder. Times hands with front leg lift getting hands pointed back at catcher as hands load deep into back shoulder with slight turn and limited movement back. Shows stretch between upper/lower halves creating torque with back hip as hands work low and attack ball on upward path; quick bat that showed gap to gap power during batting practice. Fringe average arm worked in time with lower half while in left field during pre-game; quick release from shorter arm action with carry on throws. Fringe average runner flashing better at full speed rather than initial burst out of box. Bat will carry profile but during batting practice showed consistent bat-to-ball skills with flashes of barrel control and some blossoming pop. (Ozella)
