Preseason - Downstate (February 21, 2018)

At the plate, wide relaxed set up, hands are loose with a slight bat waggle, on the pitch he uses a toe tap bringing his knee back towards his back leg, strides on the pitch, barrel gets direct to the ball on a mostly level plane through the contact zone, exit velocity of 84 mph off a tee and we expect to see that increase as the summer months approach. Very sound defensively with a quick lower half, moves to the ball aggressive, fields the ball slightly deep in his stance but uses a quick clean finish to a high 3/4 slot release, 77 mph arm strength but gets rid of the ball very quick making that arm strength appear stronger.

Lean frame with fast twitch actions at 5-foot-9 140 pounds. The right-handed hitting SS ran a 7.63 60. Offensively- Even stance with a bit of a toe-tap as he loads more his body weight then separating with his hands. Explodes through the ball with a balanced lower half; easy upper body actions with the ball showing some jump off the barrel. Will find the gaps more as he gets stronger; exit velocity was 80 MPH. Defensively- Active with short, choppy steps; hands work out in front. Can make the play on the move and alternate arm angles. Arm strength at 69 MPH but plenty of room for growth here.
