2017 Spring Scout Blog: Undersized 2019 middle infielder hit lead off and displayed good actions in the infield. The 5'8" shortstop has strong lower body and plays low and athletic across the diamond. Fields in a good athletic position with soft, active hands. Stands tall to throw with average arm strength across the diamond. 3/4, short arm action is max effort with lots of lower body into each throw. Good defensive actions and had good instincts in the middle infield. Hits from an athletic stance from the right side. Slightly wider base, simple small hand load to separate and short hand path to the baseball. Line drive, middle to opposite field approach. Barrel works flat off the back side and through the zone to contact and finishes flat through extension. Worked good counts at the plate and has some feel. Has more bat speed and strength to gain with better utilization of the lower half in swing.
