7/06/20

Physical: Featured an athletic build in a solid 5-foot-11, 185-pound frame. 7.44 runner in the 60-yard dash. RPI Commit

Offensively: RHH. Wide, slightly open stance with the hands high at the ear in the setup. Utilized a short and quick leg-lift with quick hands launching through a slightly uphill path with twitch. The barrel worked with authority through impact creating natural lift to the pull-side during batting practice with a high finish to the shoulder. Demonstrated legitimate juice when contacting the ball out in front of the plate, crushing the pitch above the belt with regularity. Recorded a maximum distance of 349 feet (a home run to LF) on a batted ball per Trackman Baseball and registered a top bat-exit velocity of 95 mph. 

Defensively: The primary outfielder demonstrated a low center of gravity with short and quick lateral movements during defensive evaluations. Rhythmic approach with a soft glove hand that played through the baseball on the ground and adequate catch and throw skills with solid momentum towards the target. High ¾ slot with length in the arm swing and accuracy to the plate with repeatable actions. OF - 78 mph

Has a short compact swing and direct path to the baseball. Gets good use of lower half. Sprayed the ball all over the field in BP. Top exit velocity 86 MPH. Defensively- As an OF, an aggressive approach to the baseball. Showed smooth actions when fielding the baseball. Displayed long loose arm action from a high ¾ arm slot. Throws have some carry. Top throwing velocity 80 MPH.

2.21.19

An athletic build 5-foot-11, 173 pounds. Offensively- Stands tall in the box with a slight bend in the knees. Short simple load, direct path to the baseball. Slight lift at point of contact.
