6-foot, 180-pound, strong, physical athletic frame. The shoulders are squared off, has room for future development. A right-handed hitter, can play both a corner spot in outfield and is more than usable behind the dish. The top tool is his arm, which was clocked at 87 mph from the outfield and 78 from the chute. The arm is longer, works out of a high ¾ slot and the baseball jumps out of his hand. Pop time of 2.15, time will drop, needs to shorten arm a bit, gets extended. The hands are soft on the catch, gets around the baseball, anticipates the dirt ball. At the plate, had a tee exit velocity of 86 mph, shows to have gap power, the approach is more to the pull side of the field. The hands are loose and work with easy effort through the zone. The swing is flat across the chest, makes hard contact, leaks a bit forward. Good looking athlete, chance to hit and hit with power, very valuable defensively.

Sixty-Yard Dash: 7.53

Exit Velocity: 87 MPH

Arm Velocity: 76 MPH

6-foot, 180-pound, longer, wider athletic frame, has plenty of room for future development. A right-handed hitting catcher/outfielder, projects more behind the dish. At the plate, wider, even set up, hands are loose, back elbow has some extension. For timing has a controlled leg kick, gains ground with stride foot. The swing is flat through the zone, keeps the barrel in the zone, approach is more middle to pull, the tee exit velocity was clocked at 85 mph, with more in there as he continues to add strength.  Time down the line was at 4.85. Look for the bat to play at the next level. Defensively, had a pop time of 1.96-2.15, arm working out of a higher slot, clocked at 76 mph. Shows to have strength from the chute position, needs to shorten path just a tick. The feet move and gain ground in transfer, works down hill and gets out front on release. From the outfield, arm was clocked at 83 mph, carry and flight to the baseball, online to target. Steps through, easy transfer, momentum going towards target. Good follow, can play both positions and has a chance to hit.

Home-First: 4.85

Exit Velocity: 85 MPH

Arm Velocity: C-76 MPH, OF-83 MPH

5-foot-11, 180-pound,  strong athletic frame, hands and wrists have good strength to them. A right-handed hitter, stance is taller, slightly open, hands are held just above shoulder height, back elbow gets extended outward. For timing uses a knee lift, into a minimal stride, hands have separation from his body, coil to the upper body. The swing is flat through the zone, stays on it and sprays it to all fields. The approach is more line drive, showed the ability to drive it to the gaps. The tee exit velocity was 84 mph, barrel has life and whip out front. In game swings were very good, collected a couple of hits, was clocked at 4.52 on a ground ball to 1st base. Defensively, the arm is his top tool, it's fast and powerful. The arm action is super short throws from his ear, clocked at 75 mph, with a pop time of 2.03- 2.10, throws are downhill. The feet gain ground in the transfer, takes an extra step at times on throw downs. The setup is slightly side saddled, looks to be athletic and flexible is the chute position. The hands are soft, gets around the baseball when receiving. From the outfield, arm was clocked at 83 mph, throws are on a line and gave the receiver something to handle. The footwork is quick, steps through hard, gains ground. Good looking athlete, could be valuable, can play multiple positions.

Arm Velocity: C-74 MPH, OF-83 MPH
