Physical: 6-foot-0, 190 pounds; Sturdy, athletic build. 7.59 runner in the 60.

Offensively: RHH. Even setup, with feet just outside his shoulders; bat positioned at a 45 degree angle. Loads straight back with a slight leg-kick for timing. Slides weight forward pre-contact. while showing a strong lower half. Showed a flat swing path with a late one hand finish.  More groundballs than line drives and flyballs with a peak exit velocity of 91 MPH via Trackman.

Defensively: Starts with an upright /tall setup; walks into ready position while showing active feet. Hands are off to the side with a seamless transfer. Moderate arm circle from a standard 3/4 arm slot. OF - 80 MPH.

Pitching: Uses a glove side setup while using a side step. Belt high leg drive with shoulders above the hips. Has a long stride landing inline with the plate.

Limited use of lower half, floats forward through contact with long swing, could not consistently get front foot down but moved well when he did. Sent a lot of balls into the air while displaying some pull side ability; peak Trackman exit velocity of 78 MPH.
Defensively: Stands upright with some bend at the waist; stayed low to the ground and moved well laterally. Fielded the ball underneath his body and funneled upwards; 3/4 slot with good hand speed through the ball. INF - 71 MPH.
Pitching: Conventional, slow delivery with some good stride length down the mound. Loose, whippy actions from a straight stab out of the glove. FB: T 72MPH, 70-72 MPH.
