3.5.17 - 6-foot, 154-pound, athletic left-handed pitcher and first baseman. On the mound, works from a high ¾ arm slot with long, loose arm action, smooth rhythm. Tall and fall delivery, pitches with effort, works on-line, lands square and finishes in an athletic position. Fastball clocked at 69-71 mph. Curveball followed a 1/7 shape, clocked at 57-61 mph. Straight changeup clocked at 64-66 mph. In the field, throws with a long, firm arm action from an over-the-top-to-high ¾ arm slot, clocked at 64 mph across the infield. Good feel for first base, athletic position, clean exchanges.  Offensively, narrow, crouching setup, toe-tap stride, maintains some balance throughout, keeps it simple. Line drive hitter, potentially gap-to-gap, keeps it simple, swings the bat hard with a long, uphill barrel path, recorded a 70 mph exit velocity. Ran an 8.26 laser-timed 60.
