Slick fielding middle infielder from New Hampshire that we are seeing for the second time. The glove is solid and the footwork to and through the ball is appropriate. Plenty of arm strength to play in the middle of the field, threw 83 mph across the diamond. Would like to see him a bit more under control with his throwing, leading to better accuracy. Very good with his feet at the pivot and can handle the slow roller. Ran a 7.05 on the turf. At the plate, has a tee exit velocity of 80 mph, as the frame needs strength. The hands work freely at the plate, as he starts with his feet even. As the ball approaches he brings the front knee to the back knee on the bottom half. There is a lot of action below the waist during the swing. The bat is quick and clean, as he gets the barrel out front. Timing will be an issue for the swing, as he matures and he sees better pitching, calming down the bottom half and staying in his legs will be a must. I like the skill set, interested to see him more.

Quick twitch right-handed hitting middle infielder who showed plus foot speed and a savvy glove at the event. Showed me that he is an above average defender who can really run. Ran a 4.18 down the line on his dig. The range in the middle is good and he has plenty of arm to make the throws. Threw 79 mph across the diamond with carry. Handles the pivot with ease as well. At the plate, the bat needs strength. The path is long to the ball, making him weak at contact. Sets up with an even footed stance and drops his hands to start the swing. The at bats in the game were very good, so he may be better in game as opposed to the workout portion. Tee exit velocity of 75 mph. Big follow for me.
