5-foot-11, 175 pound RHP and shortstop. Average frame with very athletic build. Has the frame to add more weight. High potential, still very raw. Above average bat speed, with a slight hitch in his load. Quick hands, fast twitch in the field. Above average arm strength across the diamond. Repeatable mechanics on the mound. Pounds the strike zone consistently. Tends to short arm his pitches, but has a very quick arm action that makes up for lost momentum. Average use of his push off leg, with a below average finish (stiff front leg).

Athletic frame at 5-foot-11 165 pounds running a 7.39 60 and 4.37 home-to-1B. Offensively- Sets up slightly open with weight pre-loaded and semi-flat barrel. Controlled take back with a slight wrap; stride works back to even as he stays behind the ball. Aggressive lower half; exaggerated weight transfer with pull side, line drive results. Exit velocity peaked at 77 MPH. Defensively- Quick breakdown into the ball, occasionally taking a knee with hands out. Short shuffle step with a 2B type release. Ranged well laterally; uses low slot with peak velocity across the diamond at 76 MPH. Continuous action into and through the ball with additional ground covered via the shuffle step will help with a left-side infield projection.
