Offensively: RHH - Balanced, upright, open stance with the hands operating loosely above the head. Utilized a lift and replace stride, stretching out towards the pitcher on time with a barrel tip, initiating through a flat path into the hitting zone. Flashed good rhythm at the plate, finding the barrel on a line to the middle of the field (30% line drive rate via Trackman). Top of the order skillset, adding good bat to ball skills with feel for the top hand in the box. Notched a T86 mph bat-exit velocity and worked his way up to a near 280 foot batted ball distance. Mostly singles power for now, though he poses the ability to hit for average at a high rate.

 Defensively: The shortstop featured above-average footwork during defense, beating the ball to the spot with rangy actions and lengthy steps in either direction. Good pace and created downhill momentum towards the target, shuffling in-line with a quick trigger from H ¾ slot (82 mph arm). Natural shortstop qualities and consistently set himself up for advantageous hops, dropping the arm down to the side during plays on the run with accuracy on the bag. 

Pitching: RHP - The primary righty started off the middle of the rubber with confidence in his arsenal. Pounded the zone using a fast pace, getting to a high, slightly hip-coiled position and down the slope, hiding the ball well at footstrike from H ¾. The FB entered the zone often at 82-84 mph with some sneaky quickness to it (2390rpms). Added a strikeout 69-71 mph SL that showed both depth and bite across the plate, thrown in any count.
