5-foot-11, 165-pound left-handed hitting first baseman. He ran 7.69 sixty at the event. The approach around the bag at first base is solid as he has a good feel for what he is doing. The feet move athletically and he threw 72 mph across the diamond from first to third base during the defensive portion of the workout. The bat has an exit velocity of 84 mph as physical strength gains are warranted. The setup is wide in base and the front foot gains minimal ground to the ball as the swing is produced. The path is long to contact. I like how the hands work and with strength gains he should show well with the bat.
Exit Velocity- 84 mph
INF Velocity- 72 mph
