Underclass Prospect Games August 2014
6-foot-4, 240-pound 2 way player.  5.0 home to first time.  Right handed hitter, easy load and stride into contact, low hand set to start, line-drive swing plane with lift at finish.  Upper and lower half sequence well.  Gap to gap approach.  Ball jumps well when Lindaman gets extended.  Loud triple to right center gap in game.  Projected middle of order bat.  89 mph exit velocity off tee.  Probably needs to turn it loose little more for body type.  At times can be contact oriented.  Defensively, moves well at first base.  Good awareness around bag to handle throws from across the diamond.  Throws from over the top slot.  Easily handles the position with ability to start double plays with quality glove and feet.  On the mound, low hand set, stagnant hands, shoulder tilt in delivery, tends to miss up in zone, does have some arm speed which allows him to get out front.  Arm works well, fluid stroke.  Average breaking ball for strikes.  Front side swings open causing him to fall off towards first base side.  Fastball ranged 79-82.  Curveball 61-64.  With minor adjustments could be valuable arm on mound; upside and future though is as a middle of order bat who projects to hit with power and produce runs.
