08/26/17 - 5-foot-9, 156 pound infielder that may not be flashy, but will make the routine plays consistently. He has continued to be in the right place at the right time defensively. At the plate, the left handed hitter has a strong lower half. He can get around the ball at times, but the hands are loose and when they are short through the zone, generate hard contact. Has a feel for the barrel and is a solid all-around player.

07/26/17- The 5-foot-9, 160-pound left handed hitting infielder shows sound defensive actions in the middle. He has a quick first step, solid hands and creates quality angles working through the ball well topping out at 82 mph. From an open stance, he uses a leg kick trigger with a coil load that generates above average bat speed. He showed the ability to drive balls gap-to-gap in batting practice and this translated to the game with a double.

01/21/17- The stocky, 5-foot-9, 160-pound middle infielder shows a feel for the barrel from the left side. With a small leg kick trigger, he shows quality separation creating a level to slightly uphill path through the zone. He showed the ability to drive the ball to all fields and should have some gap-to-gap power as he continues to get stronger. He also shows sound actions in the infield. With solid hands and footwork he was in the right position and showed a feel for the game. Interesting player to follow as he continues to gain strength.

8/13/16- 5-foot-8, 160 pounds with a compact build. Offensively, he showed a short level swing, consistently finding the barrel producing hard line drives in both rounds of batting practice. Defensively, he showed above average actions in the middle with soft hands and a quick first step.
