Positional Profile: 1B/RHP Body: 6-foot-7, 221-pounds. Well-proportioned and athletically put together, broad large frame. Defense: Considerable range given his length and size. Adequate glove skills, moves around the bag with enough athleticism to play average defense. Arm: RH. 1B - 79 mph. Compact arm action, plenty of arm for 1B and it would also translate to LF, throws easy. Hit: RHH. Ultra-wide base, no stride approach w/momentum rock to backside load, keeps hands connected with body, creates rhythm. Creates power without big stride yet fairly compact and in control of the barrel. Flat-ish swing with some contact oriented swing traits that play well given his present strength. Chance to create power while also having contact skills. Power: 90 mph exit velocity in cage front toss session. Run: 7.96 runner in the 60.
Delivery: Simple turn at rubber, lifts/tucks knee just above waist, tends to keep hands near waist until separation, lands on line w/stability, gets backside through. Arm Action: RH. Circular arm action w/depth just below waist, overhand slot, loose and easy. FB: T82, 80-81 mph. Showed control of both sides, has life through zone, sneaky quick. CB: 63-68 mph. Big shape, wide at times, tumbles through zone. CH: 70-73 mph. Tossed a couple of dive bombers w/arm side action.
