5-foot-10, 145-pounds, thin, average athletic frame. The neck is long, shoulders are rounded off, arms and legs are long, has a ton of room to fill out and put weight on. A right-handed hitting outfielder, the legs, speed and quickness are his top tool. At the plate,  setup is wider than shoulder width, hands are loose at shoulder height, bat starts in a tilted position. The swing is flat through the zone, hands cast just so slightly, jumps at the baseball, could stay back a bit, transfer weight from backside to front side. The approach is more middle to pull side. The tee exit velocity was clocked at 78 mph and ran a 3.97 mph. The second round of batting practice was very good, hard solid contact throughout. Defensively, worked out in the outfield portion, throws from a lower slot, more of a slinging action, arm was clocked at 66 mph. The arm action has a longer path to it, front side wants to leak out could stay on it longer through release of the baseball. The transfer was more of a shuffle, feet are quick and move well. An athlete, strength is a must and needs to continue to refine the mechanics on both sides of his game.
