6-foot, 140-pound long, thin, athletic frame is still growing. His legs and frame both have increased since last year and would put him at a medium build. Off the bump the mechanics looked significantly better than last year, needs to smooth out the finish of the delivery. . His arm action is over the top with easy and repeatable mechanics, fastball touching 76 mph . He short arms the ball sometimes and could be getting more extension while following through to help his pitches have more life and bite. The breaking pitch was clocked at 65-68 mph, with more top to bottom break. The changeup had turn me over action clocked at 71-72 mph.

5-foot-9,130-pound, smaller, thin athletic frame, has room for future strength and mass. A right-handed middle infielder, at the plate front foot starts slightly open, even at shoulder width. The hands are relaxed set above the shoulders. For timing, gains a god amount of distance with stride foot. The swing is is down to level, stays through the baseball, looks to stay in the middle of the field, finishes it off with a high one handed finish. The backside lower half could be more engaged, will help with more pop. Tee exit velocity was clocked at 70 mph and ran 4.5 down the line. Defensively, prep steps leading into the catch, works low to the ground. The arm action has average length to it, working out of a natural ¾ slot, clocked at 65 mph, good touch on all throws across the diamond. From the outfield, arm was clocked at 70 mph, used more of a shuffle in the transfer. Off the mound, fastball was at 71-74 mph, sink to arm side. The breaking ball had tight spin at 63-67 mph. A crossfire, steps across, could get lead leg inline a tick more and stay stronger on the back leg. Young athlete, will be interesting to follow his game.
