5-foot-11, 160-pound, wiry strong, athletic frame, showing plus strength throughout. A left-handed hitting outfielder, who showed extremely well once again. At the plate, balanced approach, even feet, loose relaxed hands. The swing is short to contact, level to up approach, stays through it and has an all field approach. Showing enough pop to beat the outfielders. Driving the baseball all over the yard, had an exit velocity of 90 mph. a good runner, ran a 7.03 sixty-yard dash, plays much faster than that. Defensively, can go get it in outfield, good jumps, tracks with ease. The approach is under control, quick transfer, gaining ground, arm works with ease. Clocked at 80 mph, easy carry and flight. Big follow, one of my favorites in the class of 2022.

6-foot, 160-pounds, lean, wiry strong athletic frame. The shoulders are sloped, back is wider, has room for future weight gains. A left-handed hitting two-way player, projects more as a position player, quick legs and swing works from left side. The stance is open, lower hands, swing is short and crisp to the baseball, gets through it, and drives it from middle to pull side. The barrel has life out front on contact, had a tee exit velocity of 92 mph, advanced and quick for his age. Runs extremely well, clocked at 6.94 sixty-yard dash. Defensively, threw 77 mph from the outfield, attacks, stays behind the baseball, stepping through hard gaining ground. The feet are active and clean, looks to be able to track well in gaps.  Off the mound, pounded the zone with three pitch mix. The delivery is simple, repeats it, small forward lean of upper body. The arm action is short, clean and quick on the backside. The fastball reached 76 mph, with arm side sink and run. the breaking ball acts more like a slider/cutter, clocked at 67 mph. Showed feel for the changeup at 65-69 mph. Projects for me as a hitter, need to see ASAP.
