5-foot-10, 170-pound right-handed hitting middle infielder. He ran a 7.68 sixty at the event. The frame is thin now as he is still growing into his body frame. The approach in the infield needs to be more active with the feet as the ball is fielded. The hands and glove work well, just need the feet to follow suit so the process can be smoothed out. He threw 74 mph across the diamond out of a clean arm swing. The bat has an exit velocity of 81 mph. The setup is even in base and he steps into the swing as the ball approaches the hitting zone. The path is long and flat through contact with the baseball. Once the addition of strength and weight is added to the frame he should flourish.
