7/25/17: Home to 1st: 4.64, Position Velocity: INF-79, Exit Velocity: 80. 6-foot, 190 pound senior 1B/RHP has a solid frame, using simple, small load to drive baseball to all fields. Wide stance to start, uses a tiny foot tap to load, hands and barrel get in good launch angle before flattening out, off the back shoulder as the front foot hits. Hands and barrel work short to the baseball, staying on level plane through the hitting zone. No separation or weight transfer in swing, has much more to generate in lower half of the swing. Back knee and hip work stiff through contact. Front foot stays closed, blocking the lower half at times and spinning on the front heel. Corner infielder, aggressive to throw. Clean exchange out of the glove with carry across the diamond. Gets flat footed and wide to throw at times. Better footwork and foot speed, creating angles and path through the baseball to be developed.

Small foot tap with no stride to start the hands and swing. Hips work stiff, much more in the lower half to engage and use in swing. Upper body collapses to swing, reaches out to front side.

Moves well around the bag at 1st base, good glove actions. Arm is short but loose, has some arm speed across the diamond. Has ability to use more in the lower half to throw.
