10.27.18

Physical for his age with an average frame at 6-foot-2, 190 pounds.  Left handed hitter creates some leverage with an exit velocity peaking at 88 mph off the barrel.  Open in his stance, strides back toward the plate.  Slight leg kick to load his weight.  Some waggle in the bat head through the launch, but repeats his launch position.  Strength over quickness, the swing is geared to the pull side wanting extension.  Barrel awareness should improve with more quickness.  Behind the dish, shows some bend through his hips but when working to exchange, the hips cheat up and there is an early false step.  Exchanges across his belly to a medium arm swing and high-3/4 release.  Positional velocity of 74 mph yielded pop times ranging 2.10 – 2.12 with misses to the 3B side.  At first base, tends to catch the ball deep but secures it to the midsection.  Feet fight for rhythm.  Arm showed accuracy on throws peaking at 74 mph.  Ran a laser timed 60 at  8.18.
