Athletic frame with length, standing 6-foot, 150 pounds.  Still room to continue to add strength.  Plus tool exists, running a 6.62.  Powerful runner creating force into the ground.  Seems to be better in his second 20 yards than the first, holding and maintaining his top end speed.  Some effort in the outfield, still raw with his routes and transition.  Works to play through the ball with fluid feet and clean exchanges.  Long arm action, setting him to an uphill posture with an over-the-top release.  Average carry, lacking some direction at times as the head can be violent through release.  Positional velocity of 81 mph out of the hand.  Right handed hitter works through some waggle and movement from a crouched setup and vertical bat.  Front arm can bar at times in the load.  Inconsistent timing in his weight shift prior to a short stride.  Quick bat through the zone, occasionally long, with average barrel awareness.  Quickness and strength exist and the swing should be able to become more direct.  Exit velocity of 80 mph off the barrel.

Quick twitch athlete stands 6-foot-1, 150 pounds.  Strength exists but a thin frame suggest the ability to continue to get stronger, maintaining quickness.  Ran an impressive 2.71 20 yard dash, getting to top end speed very quickly. From the outfield, plays through the ball with quick feet. Quick exchange with athletic movements and showed carry as he finishes his throws.  Positional velocity of 81 mph. Narrow base, slightly open, using an exaggerated leg kick to set his weight on the backside.  High hands and a relaxed barrel work for extension,  driving the ball when he stayed through it. Flashes of above average bat speed.  Quickness through the zone can fluctuate as he works to feel for the barrel.  Posted an exit velo of 78mph.  Ran a 5.13 5-10-5 and 8-6 in the broad jump.

Scout Day record, 6.59 sixty on the laser timer.  Long strider with power in each step.  Lanky, athletic frame is still maturing.  6-foot, 150 pounder hits from the right side.  Open stance using a leg kick to get to a short stride.  Bat head works from a lagged position.  Strong and quick with the bat trying to stay level through the zone.  Some barrel awareness staying in the middle of the field.  Raw with projection ahead.  In the outfield, quick feet and a long arm swing work to a high-3/4 slot.  Accurate throws with average carry measuring 74 mph out of the hand.
