Physical: 6-foot-2, 210 pounds; Sturdy, long build. 7.15 runner in the 60.

Offensively: LHH. Even setup, with feet wide spread; bat positioned at a 45 degree angle. Extended take back of the hands with a toe-tap for timing. Slides weight forward pre-contact. while showing a strong lower half. Showed a short swing path with a two handed finish.  More line drives than flyballs and groundballs with a peak exit velocity of 93 MPH via Trackman. High bat speed, big time hard hit % and line drive %. High exit velos and distances. Strong back knee during the swing, stays short with lift through the zone.

Defensively: Starts with an upright /tall setup; uses prep step while showing active feet. Hands are out in front with a clean transfer. Long arm swing from a standard 3/4 arm slot. OF - 85 MPH. Quick first step with good arm strength from the outfield.

6/28/21

Physical: Strong, even proportioned 6-foot-1, 200lb frame with durability in the lower half. 7.36 runner in the 60-yard dash. 

Offensively: LHH - Wide, even stance as the hands operated in rhythm over the backside of the shoulder to start. Utilized an up/down leg-lift to initiate his swing through a stretched, flat path into the hitting zone. Mostly moderate, upright posture in the approach, able to find the barrel at will when pitched middle-in. Posted a 40% line drive and 40% fly ball rate split (via Trackman) pointing to the ability to lift and backspin the baseball for extra-base hits (305 foot batted ball distance, doubles power). Added a T87 mph bat-exit velocity showing feel for the top hand and consistency to pull. 

Defensively: The outfielder demonstrated loose, active feet early in routes, chopping at the start and gaining momentum through the fielding window from a higher-postured, stalking approach. Fielded cleanly off the right side, funneling and releasing in-line quickly from a H ¾ slot (accurate, 79 mph arm strength, corner OF projection). 

Pitching: LHP - Started off the middle of the rubber, holding pace after the side rocker; got to a balanced stack position and showed seasoned movements down the slope. Worked into a good front-side, blocking off properly and staying firm as he released athletically from a H ¾ slot. The FB ranged from 77-79 mph producing arm-side run at 1762rpms. Mixed a sharp 63-65 mph SL as the strikeout offering, able to land for strikes as well whenever he wanted. Then added a quality 68-70 mph CH with good sell and some fade.
