Body: 6’4’’, 200 pounds. Large, projectable and athletic frame with obvious confidence in the actions. Hit: RHH. Wide, solid base with a slight bend in the knees; the hands showed some rhythm at the shoulder in the setup. Utilized a deep leg hang initiating the bat head through a smooth, slightly vertical path into the hitting zone. Recorded a quick stroke (24 mph hand speed via Blast Motion) while delivering some thunder when getting the arms extended at the front of the plate. Mostly middle / pull side approach while hitting into a stiff front side. Showcased present juice (324 foot batted ball distance) while not giving up bat to ball skills (54% line drive rate). Swing and approach should allow him to hit for some average down the line as well. Power: 93 mph exit velocity during BP per TrackMan. Current doubles power and ability to hit for XBH. Should continue molding into a more premiere power threat as he keeps developing. Arm: RH. OF - 79 mph. Long, full arm circle with rhythm on the takeaway, accurate throws. Defense: With the foot speed present and a quick first step, you’re looking at possible CF qualities. The frame might lead to a move to a corner spot with a power profile making the most sense. Light on his toes with down chest angles and a trusted glove hand sometimes fielding between the legs with two hands. Run: 6.91 60-yard time.
