Young, thin frame with room for growth ahead at 5 foot 8, 140-pounds.  Side step and hip turn to a balance point with the kick to the mid chest.  Fights for consistent rhythm, building after balance.  Arm reaches out of the glove, wrapping around the body.  Closes his line out of balance, working back to on-line at foot-strike with a closed front foot.  Falls to the 3B side working for extension.   Average arm speed at a ¾ release.  Fastball at 67-70 with a spin rate up to 1725 rpm.  Presets the grip and hand placement for the breaking ball.  Decent hand speed, working in the zone with a 2/8 tilt at 60-62 and spin rates of 1460 rpm.  Change-up could be top secondary pitch with good hand speed and some feel at 66 with a spin rate of 1110.
Hits from the left side with a balanced setup.  Hands cock during his load, creating some bat angle with a short stride.  Loose hands that get through the zone with a middle of the field approach.  Simple balanced swing with his exit velocity recorded at 66 mph and should improve as the body matures.  Average hands in the outfield.  Works through the ball with a longer exchange and arm action, throwing from a ¾ slot.  Arm topped at 68 mph to the plate.  Recorded an 8.59 in the 60.
