6/29/22

Physical: 5-foot-11, 165 pounds; Average, slender build. 7.52 runner in the 60.

Offensively: RHH. Even setup, with feet just outside his shoulders; bat positioned at a 45 degree angle. Short take back with the hands with a slight leg-kick for timing. Drifts into contact while showing an average effort from the legs. Showed a slight lift to the ball with a two handed finish.  More flyballs than line drives and groundballs with a peak exit velocity of 78 MPH via Trackman.

Defensively: Starts with an upright /tall setup; uses prep step while covering ground laterally. Hands are out in front while funneling to the hip before transfer. Short take back from a low 3/4 arm slot. INF - 71 MPH. Athletic and covers ground well. Made a great, far-reaching play up the middle.
