High Point commit. Strong, athletic, projectable build at 6 feet 1, 175 pounds. Works from the left side offensively with a tall, slightly open, athletic setup.  Shows a mature approach staying inside balls and driving them to left center field. Keeps his barrel in the zone with a level path working short to the ball with good extension out front.  Uses a small leg kick for his load, dives to the plate at times closing off his lower half. Fluid swing with good balance and above average bat speed. Exit velocity recorded at 86mph.  Arm tops at 93mph from the outfield. Shows soft hands with quick, fluid feet, soft hands and clean exchanges. Long arm action with carry and accuracy to his throws. Worked out on the infield as well with average hands. Occasionally fights for rhythm at his secondary position, but it may come with reps.  Throws topped at 92mph across the infield with a longer arm action.  Recorded a time of 4.03 in the 30- yard dash.

Chance to be a dual player moving forward.  Left-handed hitter is athletic and loose in the box with a feel for the barrel.  Begins slightly open and uses a slight leg kick to load back.  Above average bat speed.  Flat through the zone.  Ball jumped off the bat.  Shows athleticism on the bases with enough run ability to swipe bags.

Wiry and long at 6-foot, 165 pounds.  Fastball sat 82-83, with a high spin rate that jumped on hitters.  Quick arm worked from a short, compact arm action to a high-3/4 slot.  Curveball worked 69-70, with a change-up touching 75.  Deliberate to balance, with a hand pump, then accelerating the delivery to the whippy arm.  Athletic off the mound.  Efficient in attacking hitters with command of the fastball.
