Positional Profile: OF/1B
Body: 6-0, 193-pounds. Powerful, athletic frame with a solid lower half.
Hit: LHH. Balanced stanced with high hands. Controlled load and stride. Hands fall into slot well into stride. Super quick hands and bat path looking to drive the ball to the pull side but works with the pitch well to all fields.
Power: 97 max exit velocity, averaged 90.8 mph. 356' max distance.
Arm: LH. OF-83 mph. Long arm action
Defense: Good footwork in the outfield. Approaches balls well. Fields out front to glove side with smooth transfers on throws home.
ATH: 6.33 runner in the 60.
Uncommitted. An explosive athlete with a dynamic game. At the plate, balls constantly jump off the bat at exit velocities of 90+. The strength is present in the physical 6-foot, 193-pound frame. Possessing an innate feel for the barrel and working to all fields with impressive bat-to-ball skills to match. Electrifying on the base paths swiping bags left and right, along with taking extra bases, the former future gamer wreaked havoc on the bases, highlighting the plus-speed. Booth JR. Was a standout at NPI displaying the perfect blend of power and speed as the tools were on full display.
