Notes

Comments

6/28/22

Body: 6-foot-1, 157-pound.

Hit: (LHH) Begins in an athletic quiet stance with a compact load, then uses a small leg kick. Quick bat speed. Good extension on his finish, simple upward swing.

Power: , average 87.9 mph.

Defense:  (OF) Soft hands, consistent footwork, natural exchange. Solid.  Laterally, movements were athletic and fielded the ball out front.
