The 4-foot-11, 90 pound switch-hitting outfielder had a tee exit velocity of 64 mph.  From the right side, the stance begins out of a wide, slightly open stance.  The hands are set in the middle of the chest and move into a good position after the load.  The stride gets down square and the bat path is flat.

From the left side, the stance begins the same.  He loads the weight nicely to the backside but the stride is consistently in from the left side.  The bat path is a little longer from this side as well.

Defensively, the arm was 62 mph from the outfield.  He moves well as he attacks the ground ball, with the glove in a relaxed position.  The breakdown to field is controlled and he stays balanced as he fields.  The transition to throw is good.  He gets into a solid throwing position but falls a bit to the glove side as he finishes the throw.

On the mound, the delivery is simple and he stays balanced.  He stays over the rubber before heading down the mound in line with home plate.  The fastball was located well and sat 57-59 mph.  He also mixed in a breaking pitch at 51-53 mph.

I like the potential. He showed a very fundamental skill-set.
