Body: 6’2”, 178 pounds. Tall, athletic, projectable frame.
Hit: LHH. Hits from a tall, balanced slightly open stance at the plate. Smooth, quick knee-to-knee back load load with an elongated stride. Attacks the ball with intent with a more level swing path with quick hands and fast bat speed through the zone. Whippy type barrel action through contact with a slight recoil in the back swing and solid extension. Strong lower half involvement, staying behind the ball well with a strong gap-to-gap line drive approach. Strong two-handed finish.
Power: 85 mph exit velocity during BP per TrackMan. Present pop to the pull side with more developing as his body continues to fill out.
Arm: RH. INF - 70 mph. Throws with shorter arm action from a mid to high three-quarter slot.
Defense: Plays through the ball with active feet. Fields the ball out in front with soft hands and quick, clean exchanges. Showed some range side to side with clean actions.
Run: 8.39 60-Yard Time.
Delivery: Starts with a side-rocker step. Arm seems to lag slightly throughout the delivery, but finishes in a good fielding position. In some instances, didn’t quite get out over his front leg which led to pitches up in the zone. As he develops physically, look for him to find the bottom half of the strike zone.
Arm Action: RH. High three-quarter arm slot.
FB: T75 mph, 73-75 mph. Arm side fade. Average spin rate of 1875 rpm per TrackMan.
CB: 63-66 mph. Average spin rate of 1714 rpm per TrackMan.
CH: 68-69 mph.
