7/25/23

Physical: Longer, fluid 5-foot-9, 140-pound build. 7.95 runner in the 60-yard dash.

Offensively: LHH. Wide, slightly closed stance, as the hands showed rhythm. Utilized a controlled leg-kick stride to initiate his swing through a deep/flat path into the hitting zone. Gets the most out of the frame, up to T83MPH EV and an estimated 301FT. Low strikeout rate with a chance to handle a leadoff spot down the road.

Defensively: Primary OF tracks the ball using quick, choppy footwork. Able to angle around with momentum over the front, grabbing an 80MPH arm-strength (H ¾). One-piece tempo and changes direction naturally.

Pitching: LHP. The southpaw shoved in a start; went 73-76MPH FB to both corners with a sharp 66-67MPH SL for Ks. Landed/expanded early and kept hitters between speeds to give Team NY the win. More velo to come.
