A right-handed hitter that starts in a balanced setup. Leg kick timing trigger with slight bat top to hands. Level path with obvious physicality through the zone. Nice path with natural lift to the middle of the field. Combines intent and control well through the zone. All field approach with jump to both side of the field with some emerging power to pull side. Some of the top raw power at the event.

6/22/17

A right-handed hitter that starts in a balanced setup. Uses a leg lift for timing and energy. Barrel stays fluid prior to launch. Path is level with obvious natural tools through the zone. Produces easy backspin to both sides of the field. Shoots his legs to get through quick, allowing hands more room to work and get to the baseball. Ball jumps off of bat, swing converted to live pitching as well. Shows all the signs of a middle of the lineup guy at the next level.  Behind the plate he has an ideal frame for the position. Uses clean, athletic footwork. Exchange skills are above average for his age. Arm strength is there, arm accuracy is developing. Smooth transfers.
