5-foot-5, 126 pound this left-handed hitting infielder had an impressive tee exit velocity of 80 mph. He hits out of an athletic stance, with the hands off the back shoulder. The load starts off a controlled leg kick. The swing itself is impressive for his age! The bat-speed is already evident. He takes a slightly elevated path through the hitting zone, which led to a very loud BP!
Defensively, he threw 73 mph across the diamond. The feet are active as he works to get into the fielding position. The glove could get a little farther out in front, but the hands are soft. He transitions well through the ball as he fields and gets into a strong position to throw. He is in line with the target and the arm is quick.
On the mound, the delivery is raw but the arm speed is really impressive. His direction down the mound is a little inconsistent and he falls off occasionally. The armspeed is what opens eyes and once he is able to tighten up his delivery he should see huge jumps in his fastball velocity. As it sits now, he was 68-69 mph with some late action. He also flashed a couple change-ups at 64 mph. This looks like a pitch he is still developing.
Overall, this is a very athletic, quick twitch young player. He is a guy that is going to be opening some eyes very soon!
