Athletic build in a maturing frame that stands 6-foot, 160 pounds.  Listed as a switch hitter, but only hit from the right side at this event.  Athletic base, loading back with rhythm while using a short stride.  Bat head works to a lagged position at launch.  Showed some feel for the barrel and better than average bat speed.  Short path produced line drives working gap-to-gap with an exit velocity peaking at 80 mph off the barrel.  Defensively, the primary outfielder worked out on the infield, showing some versatility to his game.  Accurate throws from a short arm action and ¾ slot.  Average carry at 76 mph across the diamond.  Hands work to exchange at the mid-section, fighting some stiffness but catching the ball with consistency in an athletic base.  Shows a good burst running a 2.96 in the 20 yard-dash and turned in a 4.65 in the 5-10-5 agility test.  Standing broad jump of 8’9”.
