6-foot, 185-pound, strong, athletic frame. Rounded shoulders, showing plenty of room for added weight gains. A right-handed hitting two-way player, at the plate, feet are even, a taller stance, hands are quiet at the shoulders, with a tilted setup. The lower half is under control, small pick up and put down, gaining ground with the stride foot. The swing is fluid and level through the zone, level to up path, more of a pull approach, gets through the baseball and finishes the swing. The exit velocity was clocked at 83 mph, look for him to hit for power at some point.  Defensively, works off the bag quick, has athletic actions with a bounce in his step. The glove is soft out front on the catch and picks. The starts and drop steps on the double play ball is performed correct. The arm was clocked at 78 mph, with carry across the diamond. Off the mound, simple, balanced delivery, longer stride, lands slightly open. The arm action is longer and clean, works from a 3/4 slot. The hand speed is really good out front on release, the fastball was clocked 81mph, with arm side action. The breaking ball has proper spin and shape, created multiple swing and misses, with weak contact. A legit two-way guy, love him off the mound.
