Recent Bradey commit. 5-foot-11, 190-pound frame, lean with some strength, broad shoulders and a trim waist. Switch hitter, wide base, sees it deep and controls the barrel, used the whole field from both sides, similar look from each side; topped out at 93.2 mph for his max EV. Quick, athletic mover in the outfield, attacks the baseball, sure-handed, short arm circle into a high ¾ slot, plays with life out of the hand (T88 mph). 6.80 runner in the 60.

Switch-hitter, simple stroke from both sides with minimal wasted movement, path works flat from the left-side with a more uphill stroke from the right, favored his pull-side throughout with line-drives. 7.00 runner in the 60, athletic actions, soft hands with aggressive footwork through the ball, reaching up to 85 mph from a crow hop.
