Physical: Strong, durable 5-foot-11, 195lb frame with thick, even proportions. 7.60 runner in the 60-yard dash. 

Offensively: RHH - Upright, narrow, and wide open stance as the hands showed flat and idle on the shoulder to start; utilized a deep barrel tilt timed up with an early toe tap and stride out towards the pitcher, initiating the swing through a fluid, slightly uphill path into the hitting zone. Produced lots of bat-speed particularly when pitched out over the middle of the plate, letting efficient turns generate loud results hitting into a stiff front-side. Notched a T93 mph bat-exit velocity (via Trackman) with a lofty approach leading the way (70% fly ball rate) yielding tons of hard, deep contact to the LCF gap. Worked up to a 361 foot batted ball distance with current home run juice down the LF line (middle of the order consideration). 

Defensively: The primary backstop demonstrated a compact, traditional setup in the crouch, with the glove hand moving subtly on the corners, receiving softly. Pop times ranged from 2.03-2.10 with good, replaceable feet getting the shoulders in-line to the target; a quick arm played through a ¾ slot with some arm-side run on the carry (73 mph arm, accurate). Showed solid reads out of the hand on blocks, reading down angle with soft shields over the plate.

Fluid, aggressive turns at the plate allowing for a 56% fly ball rate (loft) as well as a 336 foot peak batted ball distance. Strong top hand at impact and liked to get leveraged on pitches out over the plate; an 11% hard hit rate shows some of the consistency he possesses / recorded a bat-exit velocity of 92 mph.

Defensively: The primary backstop featured a low target from a traditional setup mixing in one-knee on occasion, advanced pocket awareness with feel at the catch point. Pop times ranged from 2.03-2.07 using above-average low posture during the catch / throw phase in order to create power and quickness. Got in line well and used momentum of the pitch to flow through transfers; accurate 75 mph arm strength on the bag.
