Thin frame with room for strength at 5-foot-10, 150 pounds.  Has quickness, running a 7.23 sixty.  Primary outfielder, has versatility, working out with the infielders on the day.  Fluid through the baseball with good hands.  Hips play a little high at point of the catch.  Clean exchanges, working to play through the ball.  Arm works with looseness in a short arm swing to a high-3/4 slot, showing an ability to be athletic with the slot on the move.  Advanced accuracy with carry at 78 across the infield.  Right handed hitter works from a balanced, athletic stance, loading back with a leg kick to shift the weight.  Short stride.  Bat head works from a vertical position with the lead arm getting to a position of strength.  Aggressive demeanor.  Average barrel awareness.  Better than average bat speed produced an exit velocity of 83 off the barrel.  More coming.  Works level, peppering line drives through the middle of the field.  Has looseness.   

On the mound the fastball plays straight but firm at 77-78, filling the strike zone up.  Change-up is a little hard at 74, working with near fastball hand speed.  Change does have fade and could create issues for hitters with the movement.  The breaking ball sat 70-73 with inconsistent shape as the hand gets around the pitch early.  Works from a high-3/4 slot with a long arm action.  Rushes through balance at times, working to stay tall as the shoulders work level.  Lands on-line, falling to the 1B side through his finish.  Some effort through a choppy delivery.
