Positional Profile: C/1B Physical: 6-3, 170-pounds; Long, lanky build. 7.47 runner in the 60. Offensively: RHH. Even setup, with feet just outside his shoulders; upright bat position. Loads straight back with an up and down stride for timing. Slides weight forward pre-contact while showing an average effort from the legs. Showed a flat swing path with two handed finish. More line drives than flyballs and groundballs with a peak exit velocity of 92 MPH via Trackman. Fairly compact given his long levers, has bat control, quiet in box, chance to develop some pop as he physically matures, swings were consistent Defensively: Starts with a low to the ground setup; utilizing a one knee approach while staying low during receiving. Hands are soft while standing up slightly early during transfer. Short take back from a high 3/4 arm slot. 2.07-2.16 pop times. C - 73 MPH. Displayed flexible agility, gets ball out quickly with clean transfer mechanic, feet are light, has feel and confidence behind the plate.
