5-foot-8, 188-pound, stronger, athletic frame, sloped shoulders with strength throughout. A left-handed hitting two-way player. At the plate, relaxed hands at the shoulders, feet are even, starting slightly open. The swing is short to contact, could get more separation on the back side, a down to level path, finishing with two-hands. The approach is more middle to pull, had a tee exit velocity of 75 mph, chance to really hit at some point, hands work, needs to stay through it a tick longer at the backend. Defensively, threw 68 mph across the diamond, arm action is slightly longer, working from a natural slot. The feet are clean, with flow and action, first step needs to get quicker to stick at 3rd. Off the mound, works from the set position, easy leg lift, landing inline. The arm action is clean, frontside, comes apart, needs more tracking to the dish. The fastball was clocked at 69-70 mph. The breaking ball was dropped in at 60 mph, needs more fastball hand speed. The changeup was thrown for strikes at 64 mph. Like him a ton at the plate, going to hit, needs to continue to condition.

Tee Exit Velocity: 75 mph

Arm Velocity: 68 mph
