6/29/16 5-foot-9, 150-pound left-handed hitter. Starts from a slightly open stance and strides slightly closed. Repeats his swing, has good bat speed, and showed an ability to consistently barrel the baseball during his BP round. Ran a 7.01 60-yard dash; posted 82 mph exit velocity and 89 mph arm strength with some skip from the outfield. On the mound, he incorporates a big sideways rocker into a rhythmic delivery and pitches out of a high three-quarter slot. Fastball sat 77-79, while curveball at 67-69 flashed solid three-quarter tilt, and he also showcased a split-grip change-up at 70-71 that he tended to bury.
