5-foot-11, 155-pound right-handed hitting outfielder and right-handed pitcher. Positionally, he ran a 7.12 sixty at the event. The approach in the outfield is appropriate as his feet work through the ball. He threw 82 mph with carry from right field to the plate during the defensive portion of the workout. The bat has an exit velocity of 90 mph. The setup is wide in base and the bottom half is under control throughout. The hands work, producing a flat path to contact. He showed a 1-handed finish after contact. The frame needs the addition of physical strength as he matures in age. On the mound, the fastball sat 81-82 mph. The spin pitch was 65-67 mph and big in shape. The changeup is still developing. The delivery is online with the feet and slot is above 3/4. The tracking of the front shoulder can improve as he gets stretched out at foot strike. The arm works clean.

5-foot-11, 150-pound, wiry strong athletic frame. Room for added weight, is a plus athlete. A right-handed hitting two-way player, at the plate, even feet, relaxed loose hands at the shoulders, with pre-pitch movement to them. The lower half is under control, path is level to up, creates backspin, driving the baseball from gap to gap. The exit velocity was clocked at 88 mph, jumps off the bat, a good runner, long strider, clocked at 7.06 in the sixty-yard dash. From the outfield, gets tremendous jumps, can run down the baseball. The transfer is clean, gains ground and steps through hard. The arm action is long and clean, working from a higher slot, throws are on target and downhill. Off the mound, pounds the zone with a two-pitch mix. The delivery is simple, athletic lift, inline direction with lower half, slight lean and pull with head/frontside, could stay on it a tick longer with upper half. The arm works with easy effort, fastball clocked at 77 mph, with the breaking ball at 58 mph, will need to add more fastball hand speed. Good looking athlete, time will tell which way he goes. 

Exit Velocity: 88 mph

Arm Velocity: 77 mph

A right-handed hitting two-way player, at the plate, balanced approach, even feet and hands. Simple pick up and put down with stride foot. The swing path is down to level to up, more of a middle to pull approach. The swing has life to it, ball jumps off the bat when staying on time and behind the baseball. The tee exit velocity was clocked at 77 mph, with a ton more in there as he physically matures, adds muscle and mass. Defensively, covers a good amount of ground in the outfield, reads and gets good jumps on the baseball. The arm was clocked at 77 mph, longer clean arm slot. Off the mound, simple delivery, hands start and stay high, easy lift, needs to keep lead foot out, gets tied up underneath him in gather. The direction is slightly across the body, arm action long and clean working from a high ¾ slot. The fastball touched 75 mph, ball comes out ok, with a 60 mph, breaking ball, showing proper spin and tilt to it, needs more fastball hand speed.
