6-foot-2, 190 pound junior fills out the right handed batters box with big, projectable frame. Simple leg lift load with front knee loading into the back side, foot lands slightly open and balanced. Small separation in swing, more in hands to load. Barrel works in long path through the zone, shoulders working slightly uphill with front shoulder quick to release. Lower half works slightly stiff with small hip slide forward through contact. Stays upright throughout swing, showcased some pull side pop. Looks to possess more power in the lower half. Corner infielder with big ¾ arm action across the diamond. Big bodied, stiff to bend and move side to side, glove works to field. Enough arm strength across the diamond, but more in the tank to be developed. Delivered accurate throws with average carry. More foot speed and range to be developed to stay on left side.
