6-foot-1, 182-pound right-handed hitting two-way prospect, proportional build. Offensively, balanced, short stride, hands load back and drop, turns hard on his front-side. Barrel works level through the zone, gaining extension, generated line drive contact from gap-to-gap with fluid rhythm, consistent in his approach, 81 exit velocity off a tee. Ran a 7.75 laser-timed 60. Defensively, loose arm to a high ¾ slot, kept throws on target at 75. Keeps feet moving on approach, good glove presence, fluid and clean on exchanges. On the mound, short arm action to an over-the-top slot, accelerates out front with some arm speed. Stays tall in his delivery, works on-line, lands square, finishes crossing over. Fastball sat 74-76, touched 78. Curveball, 12/6 shape, gradual break, 65-68.
