PBR Central Valley Preseason I.D. - Squared, wide shoulders with medium frame showing strength in the tight chest area and long legs. Fluid hips with quick first step (7.56 60-yd dash). Open, balanced stance with high hands and high back elbow and flat bat on the shoulder; controlled foot lift as he coils around back hip showing strong posture with hands working back and slightly down. Stays behind the baseball very well with a quick and compact swing that gets on plane early hitting line drives back through the middle looking to stay oppo in approach; projectable bat shows flashes of more bat speed hitting over solid front side (85 exit velo). Wide, balanced hips show looseness and agility with control of his glove hand at first base; helped out infielders on throws across picking balls out of the dirt.  Quick to ear with arm and extension upon finish (77 mph).

Young strong 6-foot-0 180-pound body, good present size now but chance to grow into a man-type physical body, 2-way performer at showcase and impressive all around, on mound overhand slot, easy arm action and composed repeatable delivery, good mechanics have been developed by him, clean arm and clean delivery, good tempo and direction down the slope, uses lower body quite well and allows arm to get to extension and feel of the ball, good fastball angle (81 mph), big 1/7 shaped curveball (64-65 mph) with late tumble into the zone, occasional cut on change-up (73-75 mph). All pitches and stuff will trend up as he continues to gain strength.
