Position: 2B/OF
Body: 5-foot-6, 140-pound slim frame.

Arm: 64 mph infield velocity. Loose consistent arm action, high ¾ slot.
Speed: 7.93 (60-yard).
5-foot-6, 135-pound right-handed hitting middle infielder. The approach in the field needs to be more active with the feet so he can field the ball and keep the feet moving into the catch and throw. The glove is solid and he threw 61 mph across the diamond. The bat has an exit velocity of 75 mph. The setup is close with the feet and the front foot is open to start. The front foot closes down as the ball approaches the hitting zone. The path is long to contact and will shorten as he develops physically. On the mound, the fastball sat 66-68 mph. The spin pitch 53-55 mph and he showed a changeup of 58-60 mph. The delivery is online with the feet and the slot is above 3/4 in height. The lift is repeated, solid in tempo and the arm works clean and simple. He was solid on the bump.
Exit Velocity- 75 mph
INF Velocity- 61 mph
