Notes

Comments

7/26/23

Physical: High-waisted, athletic 5-foot-11, 155-pound build. 6.89 runner in the 60-yard dash.

Offensively: LHH. Quiet, balanced stance, as the hands worked lower with rhythm to start. Utilized a leg-kick stride to initiate his swing through a direct, uphill path into the hitting zone. Tons of connection towards the middle of the field, staying inside the ball for a T90MPH EV. Recorded a 43% sweet spot and angled the knob ITZ for length; quality contact skillset with barrel-whip.

Defensively: Primary MIF featured innate awareness at SS. Chopped the feet and glided around with a soft pocket and rhythmic exchange. Made a couple plays deep in the hole look easy, up to 88MPH across the diamond. Big finishing ability from H ¾ slot, but can change angles.

Scissor leg kick action living in the gaps.
