5-foot-6, 145-pound right-handed hitting catcher and corner infielder. Behind the dish he threw 61 mph down to second base with a pop time of 2.3. The feet need to continue to improve during the transfer as well as the arm strength. The bat has a tee exit velocity of 64 mph, as additional physical strength gains are warranted. The setup is even in base,front foot open to start. The front foot steps into the swing. The path is long to contact, needs better direction at the initiation of the swing
