Athletic, while thin, at 5-foot-11, 146 pounds that can add strength. Arm works with quickness through the high-3/4 slot, from a long, and strong, arm swing.

The slider is an out-pitch waiting to happen… peaking at 69 with late sweeping action and depth. Slider mimics fastball throughout the arm motion and late into the pitch break. Change-up is the 3rd pitch, but is serviceable. Ranging 74-76, with look-alike arm speed. Does a good job of controlling the strike zone with all three. From the infield, average quickness with soft hands and quick, clean exchanges. Fluid rhythm and athletic movement. Short arm swing leads to a high-3/4 arm slot with good accuracy and carry on throws. Arm strength topped at 75mph across the infield. Offensively, the right handed hitter starts slightly open, loading back, and using a leg kick to initialize a short stride that dives toward the plate. ‘C’ Load in the hands creates a vertical bat at foot strike. Good barrel awareness. Average bat speed that should improve with strength. Exit velocity topped at 82mph. Ran the sixty in 7.44.
