5-foot-9, 135-pound right-handed hitting infielder. He ran a 7.7 sixty at the event. The approach in the infield is solid and the hands work well with the leather. The feet remain active during the fielding process. The development will be aided by the addition of strength and weight gain in the coming years. He threw 69 mph across the diamond out of a clean arm swing.  He showed a good feel for defense as he moves athletically. The bat has an exit velocity of 84 mph. The setup is even in base, and the front foot steps into the swing. The front foot dives into the plate as the swing is produced. The hands work free and clean, showing a good path to the ball. 

Exit Velocity- 84 mph

INF Velocity- 69 mph

He is an athletic, fluid right-handed hitting infielder.  5-foot-6, 135 pounds the frame has room to grow.   At the plate, he had a tee exit velocity of 73 mph.  The set-up is athletic, with the feet square.  The hands are relaxed, just off the back shoulder.  He uses a knee to knee to begin the swing.  The hands are quick and allow the bat-head to whip through the zone on a flat plane.  He showed the ability to drive balls gap to gap with carry.

Defensively, the actions are fluid.  His feet are athletic and are light as he moves laterally.  He gets into a good, athletic fielding position, with the glove in a relaxed position out in front.  Transitioning through the ground ball, he stays in line with the target and gets into a balanced throwing position.  During the event, he was  66 mph across the diamond.

I am excited to follow his progress.  He is a fluid defender, with soft hands and light feet.  The arm is quick and should continue to gain velocity as he matures.  The bat has a chance to be special.  The hands are quick and he consistently squares balls up.

Tee Exit Velocity- 73 mph

INF Velocity 66 mph
