Positional Profile: C/1B - Uncommitted, Massive power profile, especially for his age. The swing has a ton of natural ability in bat speed and rotation, he will need to continue to make adjustments as he faces higher levels of pitching, but the raw power tool is elite.
Body: 6-foot-1, 215-pounds. Big, stocky, strong for age, strong overall build.
Defense: 2.05-2.19 pop times. Sound defensive catcher, will need to improve his flexibility as he matures, but quiet with strong hands and blocked well. Overall, has a chance to be a solid catcher.
Arm: RH. C - 72 mph. Average arm.
Hit: RHH. Stands tall, slightly open, has a small leg kick and short and simple load for a trigger. Has some steepness at times, but direct to the ball and generates elite level bat speed and torque.
Power: 92 mph exit velocity. Elite power profile potential as he has a great ability to rotate through the zone and generate above average bat speed. Strong lower half and was able to translate in game.
Run: 7.87 runner in the 60.
