5-foot-9, 178-pound, strong, fast twitch, athletic frame. The hands, wrists and legs have serious strength, quickness and speed to them. An above average athlete, ran an easy 6.97 sixty-yard dash, has an easy kick on the back. Offensively, hits from the right side, stance is loose, balance and is on time when he makes contact. The hands are set at shoulder height, are relaxed, bat starts in a very good position, flat just above the shoulder. The feet are wider than shoulder width and slightly open. The lower half is under control, for timing uses a minimal controlled stride. The swing is flat through the zone, stays through the baseball, hands are inside it and the barrel is in the zone for a long time, finishes with one hand. The approach is gap to gap, has enough juice in his hands to beat the outfielders, tee exit velocity was clocked at 87 mph. Defensively, the approach and routes to the baseball were proper, fields out front, transfer is clean and quick, steps through hard and gains ground. The arm action has average length, arm works out of a high ¾ slot, arm was clocked at 76 mph, good carry and flight to baseball, game catcher something to handle. Good looking prospect, has tools to work with definite high follow.
