5-foot-7, 122-pound, young, wiry strong athletic frame. A twitchy athletes runs ok for a younger player, clocked at 7.37 in the sixty-yard dash. A right-handed hitting outfielder, at the plate, feet are even at shoulder width. The hands are relaxed and quiet, more of a flat/tilted setup. Lower half is under control, small pick up and put down, gaining ground with stride foot. The swing is level through the zone, with a two-handed finish, can shorten a tick to contact. The approach is more middle to pull side, shooting more line drives. The exit velocity was clocked at 79 mph, collected a couple singles in game play. Defensively, threw 67 mph from the outfield, approach is under control with a clean transfer. The arm action is shorter, would like to see a bit more length to it on the backside, will aid in a velocity jump. An athlete, will need to continued refinement of all mechanics.

Exit Velocity: 79 mph

Arm Velocity: 67 mph

Sixty-Yard Dash: 7.38 

Junior Future Games Report:

A right-handed hitting outfielder. At the plate, taller, shorter, even stance, hands are relaxed set higher, flat setup with bat. The lower half is under control, gains ground, swing path is level, rolls hands early, could stay through it a tick longer. Defensively from the outfield, threw an easy 64 mph from a higher slot. Tracked the baseball well in game play. The physical frame has a chance to be super athletic as he matures.
