11.20.15 - Verbally commits to Carthage College.

3.20.15 - 6-foot-1, 240-pound left-handed hitting first baseman, Hilltopper skipper Jared Voss jokes he’s their version of Cardinal’s 1B Matt Adams. Hits from open narrow setup, uphill bat path, geared to lift baseball, long swing, fluid, uses legs well. No doubt homer to deep right field in first at bat on to the practice football field beyond right-field fence. Legitimate power prospect. Limited range defensively at first base, but impresses with soft hands on scoops in pregame, and one in game. Shows athletic arm action, turns double play well.

8/18/13 - 6-foot-1, 220-pound, left hand hitting two way player. Defensively, he showed athletic actions with standard hands. He throws with a long arm, with an over-the-top slot at 66 mph. At the plate he uses a balanced setup with a short stride and a toe tap load and launch sequence. Bat path is uphill and creates powerful lift to the pull side. His exit velocity off the tee was 79 mph. On the mound he has a tall and fall style delivery. Throws from a high ¾ slot with a short arm action and smooth rhythm. Showed command of the fastball, that he threw 75-76 mph with running action. Throws a curveball with 11/5 tilt for strikes, at 59-62 mph. His changeup showed quality sink and fade action, for strikes, at 69-71 mph.
