9-15-2018: Strong and athletic with developing baseball skills. Plus runner, smooth and athletic stride. Above average arm strength. Hunts the FB at the plate and showed good bat speed when he got it. Offspeed really slowed his bat down. Trouble recognizing and adjusting. The tools are there, just needs to get to them and produce during the game. (Seifert)
