Positional Profile: OF/1B Bat first player who shows present hit tool with impact offensive ability.
Body: 6-2, 219-pounds. Physicality in frame with plenty of present strength to both upper and lower body
Hit: SH. Even balanced stance with some hip hinge while hands start just beyond the rear shoulder about the same height. Rear elbow starts low with barrel tipped forward just above his head. Utilizes a leg kick into a balanced landing at launch while hands stay relatively quiet about the same spot they start in. The swing is aggressive with a good turn of the lower half adding in both hand speed and bat speed to generate impact. Barrel gets into the zone quickly with strength through contact and bat works uphill to generate consistent lift with carry from the middle to pull side of the field.
Power: 102 max exit velocity, averaged 89.0 mph. 384' max distance. Loud raw power comes from the strength in his frame and aggressive swing while adding in his consistent feel for the barrel and ability to get the baseball in the air with authority. Looks the part of a power corner profile bat with middle of the order impact.
Arm: LH. INF-91 mph. OF-94 mph. Arm strength is present from a medium length arm stroke while getting the baseball to come low out of the hand with carry that allows him to both throw to the bag or one hop with accuracy. Looks the part to play RF.
Defense: Glove works on the infield with comfort playing one handed. Footwork can be inconsistent at times, but he is sure handed with the glove. 1B/Corner OF defensive profile.
