Notes

4/12/25
McHenry County commit. 5-foot-10, 170-pound frame. Got the start in center field and hit in the two-hole for the Tigers. Spark plug type, took a pitch the other way and was thinking two bases out of the box, turned a single into a double, flat and quick swing, also recorded a 3.85 on a bunt. Athletic actions in the outfield with a strong arm, natural defender with easy movements to all directions. Hopped on the mound to close it out and was sitting 85-86 mph with life through the zone. Athletic and simple mover with a clean arm, high ¾ release. Also flashed a curveball and changeup in the mid-70s.
