Also, registered the top max exit velocity (102 mph) and average exit velocity (93.8 mph) of the event.

Fits the mold of a middle-of-the-order impact left-handed bat. Defensively, still new to the outfield should be able to profile at one of the corners. Above-average foot speed (6.80 60 in the past) for his size, and his arm plays quick and strong with his best throw coming in at 92 mph from the outfield. Still developing confidence in his routes and aggressiveness. Left-handed bat should draw plenty of interest moving forward.
