5-10, 165 high waist, long leg athletic build showing burst and athleticism in twitchy actions. High hands/high back elbow set up staying tall with feet under his shoulders; rocks into back hip with front foot lift as hands have some lift in load. Twitchy actions show up in hand speed where he can jump to the baseball a bit; when he’s smooth with the load the hands fire on a better upwards path showing the ability to drive balls through the middle of the field (85 EV). Works his feet through the ball with glove out front and understands how to stay behind the ball catching in time to get ball to his hand cleanly; compact arm swing with high release shows looseness in the arm and ability to put throws accurately to the bags (82 OF).

PBR Norcal Uncommitted Senior Games - Muscular frame with quick feet (6.97 60-yard) at 5-foot-10, 165-pounds showed the strength in the frame translates as usable during game turning on a FB for a deep HR to LF before later having a solid single to LF. As impressive as the booming homer was, it came after he was drilled squarely in the back early in that at-bat but continued the plate appearance. The above average bat speed works upwards to the pullside showing ability to drive balls deep into the gap. Posted 88 mph exit velocity off the tee. Moves inline through the ball in the OF with a loose arm; lots of carry on throws (82 mph top velocity) and chance for arm to keep improving. Make-up and tenacity consistently showed up, when combined with talents, make him a match for the college game.
