Positional Profile: SS/RHP Interesting athlete that is continuing to build into his frame. Length has not eliminated potential dual prospect status.
Body: 6-2, 185-pounds. Athletic and long.
Hit: RHH. Tall and slightly open. High hands and flat bat. Toe tap working back to even with an average stride. Hands settle into slot. Balanced. Whippy working flat and gap to gap.
Power: Solid batspeed and power potential. Solid barrel feel, especially with length in the arms -- body does a good job adjusting to get the bat head out.
Arm: RH. INF-84 mph. Medium arm swing to a high-3/4 slot. Athletic exchange and release. Accurate
Defense: Good bend for his size. Athletic feet play with rhythm. Works to a tall stature in his throwing posture.
