6-foot-1, 190-pound, strong physically frame. A right-handed hitting outfielder, taller stance, starts slightly open. For timing uses a smaller, controlled let kick, hands start at shoulder height. The swing is level through the zone, using minimal effort. The swing has some rotation to it, with more of a line drive pull approach. The strength is good, recorded an exit velocity of 84 mph and moves well for a bigger player, running a 7.45 sixty-yard dash. Defensively, threw an easy 76 mph from the outfield, arm action is clean, working through a high 3/4 slot. The stride is short, could lengthen to be on time better. Collected a double in game play.
Exit Velocity: 84 mph
Arm Velocity: 76 mph
