7/10/19

Displayed a long and lean 5-foot-7, 140-pound frame with room to add strength. The right-handed hitter begins with a balanced, even stance utilizing a lift-and-replace stride to initiate his swing. Demonstrated a strong lower half with a barrel that whips through the zone. Showcased feel for a slightly uphill barrel path working gap to gap on 83 mph bat-exit velocities. Featured adequate footwork with range to both sides while playing with a low center of gravity. Arrived on time with momentum that carried accurate 77 mph throws across the infield. The right-handed pitcher sat 71-74 mph out of a fluid, over-the-top arm-slot with command. Countered with a 61-63 mph curveball yielding 11/5 rotation with some depth.

Simple load and a short stride towards the pitcher before attacking the hitting zone. Consistent hard contact during the hitting portion. Balanced throughout the swing. Exit velocity was 81 MPH. Defensively- Displayed active feet, aggressive to the ball. Gets low at the ball right to him. Moves well laterally. Quick release from a ¾ arm slot. Top velocity across the diamond was 79 MPH. Pitching- Repeatable delivery. Smooth hand separation where he gets down on plane. Easy live arm and good FB (76 MPH) command. Displayed a CB at 65-66 MPH and feel for a CH down in the zone. The 2021 graduate will increase his numbers as he continues to develop. The SS has actions to play in the middle at the next level.
