Above average movements at 1B around the bag; active feet, glove works out in front with a short arm stroke to start the front end of the double plays. Could project as well as corner outfield with improve foot speed. The LHP had a tough outing on the mound but showed an above average breaking ball with some later action as he worked in the low 80's with his FB. 

Athletic 1B/LHP with a long arm swing with some stabbing action. Was 81-83 MPH with a low 60's sweeping CB.
