Physical: Large, projectable 6-foot-3, 190-pound frame. 7.46 runner in the 60-yard dash.
Offensively: RHH. Spread, slightly open stance, as the hands start on the shoulder. Utilized a short lift-and-replace stride to initiate his swing through a flat/whippy path from a lower trigger. Recorded a mostly pull-side approach, on the barrel up to a T90MPH EV at 316FT. Carried the ball when getting the arms extended.
Defensively: Primary 3B showed active footwork and a narrow base at the hot corner. Accelerated towards the target off of the backside with an 82MPH arm-strength (OTT). Chance to handle a first base role if needed; developing pocket awareness.
Pitching: RHP. Worked from the stretch-only and pitched out of a moderate H ¾ slot. Settled into the lower-80’s with heavy action and mixed a developing 60MPH CB for Ks. Future advanced splitter killed spin at 1644 rpms.
