6-01/180, great frame, future pro body...quality BP driving balls to all fields w/94 Trackman Exit Velo and 23.3 Blast Hand Speed, chance to hit & hit for power...would give him every opportunity to play RF as likely ends up with arm for RF, plus he can run (7.11 60), good athlete with range to run balls down, feel athleticism makes him more valuable in OF and can always end up at 1B.
LHP: 84 FB and throws easy, more in there for sure w/shot at 90+ one day...impressive ++fading action to CHG, starts in vs RHH and ends up down/away, with work CHG could end up a plus swing-n-miss/K-out pitch....good shape to SL, makings of solid out-pitch...lots of upside as LHP with chance for LHS.
Primed for big junior season followed by summer/fall going into senior year where could develop into a quality two-way DI commit.
