6-foot-2, 180-pound right-handed two-way prospect, lanky, lean frame, lots of room to fill out with strength.

Line drive hitter, used middle/pull, fast hands help generate hard contact, flashed ability to drive the ball, 75 exit velocity off a tee, 88 top exit velocity during BP. Defensively, arm works longer than tradition for a catcher, over-the-top slot, throws are true, 68 out of the ctouch. Flexible lower half, long on transfers, clean footwork. On the mound, arms clean on the back side with a controlled full arm swing to a high ¾ slot. Tall and fall delivery, works on-line, lands toe open, finishes crossing over. Fastball sat 72-74, touched 75. Curveball, 53-55, gradual break. Changeup, 60-62, sinking action.
