7/17/18
A righty swinger that starts in a balanced stance. Uses a leg kick for timing as hands stay simple prior to launch. Balanced, aggressive swing on a level path. Doesn’t get cheated up there. Offers more strength than bat speed through the zone presently. Ball jumps off his bat. A powerful bat to follow in the 2021 class. Corner type in the outfield. Plays low and under control in his approach. Fields through nicely on glove foot side. Arm is an average to slightly above average tool. Right field skill set. More projectable at the first base position. Moves well around the bag with fluid actions and feel for the position. Hands are soft and ball skills are more than adequate for the spot. Solid defender over there.
