10/16/16- Florida State recruit. The 6-foot-1, 200 pound middle infielder showed a lot of quick twitch actions defensively. He has a quick first step and a quick transfer to release. The left handed hitter has some steepness in the path of the swing, but there is some present bat speed and hand-eye skill which led to a single in two games. He has a lot of athleticism and quick twitch actions which make him interesting at the next level.

05/28/16- Florida state commit. 6-foot-1, 180-pound frame. Showed athletic actions in the infield with impressive range and soft hands. Right-handed hitter, comfortable in the box, balanced set-up and gap-to-gap approach. Short, quick swing that led to several line drives and consistent hard contact.

2/8/16 - Florida St commit. 6-foot-1, 195 pound shortstop with a strong athletic body. Good infield actions with soft quick hands. Light on his feet with good instincts. Good first step quickness with good reads and routes. Advanced defender with average to above range. Plus arm with a short quick release. Can throw from all angles with good body control. Very quick bat with present power. Strength and quickness in bat with above average power and more to come. Ball jumps off his bat. Good path with aggressive approach. Average type runner underway. Body will determine if he stays at shortstop in the future. Hit 2 deep fly balls to CF that he just missed. Should be a good 2017 draft.

9/4/15- Committed to FSU

2/18/15 - 6-foot-1, 180 pound short stop with a lean live athletic projectable young body. Very good actions with good quick hands and a solid avg ML arm. At least an avg ML runner. Has some looseness in the bat with some quickness and some strength at a very young age. Shows power when he gets extended. Very aggressive approach. Good tools on a good body. Plays a bit out of control but is still very young. Was 2-3 tonight. Could become a 2017 draft.

1/10/15 FTB Tryouts - lean, loose, athletic, and
projectable body. In the field he has very good actions, light on his feet, soft hands, and a quick release; that along with his avg ML arm, will allow him to stay at SS for a long time. At the plate he has good rhythm, with quickness in his hands and a good swing plane. Can drive balls when he gets extended. Makes a lot of contact. Bat will improve with added strength. Very good all around player.
