9.15.17 - Looks much bigger than his listed 5-foot-10, 160-pounds, and stands out in uniform alongside players two years his senior. He showed the ability to move gracefully at shortstop as he has made plays on the run with strong accurate throws. However, he appears better suited for a possible move to third base where he may have a chance to be a top-level defender. In the box he is a presence starting slightly open before squaring off with a reverse toe tap that allows his hands to work back before striding forward and working uphill through the zone. He smashed a deep triple to right centerfield before turning heads on other fields with the sound of later fly out to the same part.

Quick hands, short swing with looseness. Present bat speed for his age. Defensively, soft hands with a quick transfer. Fluid footwork, athletic fielding position. Throws had accuracy and carry across the diamond. High 2020 follow.
