Positional Profile: SS/2B Up the middle defensive profile with intriguing offensive upside.
Body: 6-2, 188-pounds. Athletic frame with wide shoulders and room to add more strength
Hit: RHH. Taller even stance with minimal hip hinge to start. Hands are set above shoulder height with the bat between the head and rear shoulder with a flatter bat angle and lower rear elbow. Uses hand waggle in the set position. Medium leg lift into the forward move with ability to keep his hands back while getting to the launch position. Bat path is direct with quickness in the turn while generating leverage in his bat path that plays through the middle of the field with ability to elevate to the pull side with authority.
Power: 96 max exit velocity, averaged 90.0 mph. 361' max distance. Displays lift in the air to the pull side with the strength and carry off the bat. HR power is strictly to pull side presently, but can grow into potentially middle of the field HR power. Natural feel to get the baseball in the air consistently.
Arm: RH. INF-84 mph. Short quick arm action with a consistent transfer. Displays the feel to throw from multiple arm angles with accuracy. Can throw on the run. Ball has carry out of the hand.
Defense: Plays with quick feet that are rhythmic moving around the INF dirt. Looks comfortable going laterally/downhill while playing both 1 handed and 2 handed. Actions are athletic and hips play low to the ground. Displays SS potential long term.
