6’3, 183-pound prospect. A righty bat that gets things started with a leg lift load. Barrel maintains rhythm through load into launch. Strength stands out in swing. Bat speed is a well above average tool as well. Swing is fluid and he creates consistent timing. Impressive bat with potential to be power threat down the road. A third baseman’s frame with middle infielder hands. Actions are athletic and fluid. Ball skills are well above average. Talented all around ball player. Scholarship level prospect. Brings impressive athleticism to the bump. Arm works well and is live. Mechanically sound in general. Checks all the boxes just needs to be in the zone more often. Fastball stays mostly true through the zone and gets on hitters quickly. Offers a breaking ball and changeup for his secondary arsenal. Looks more comfortable with the breaking ball that was very sharp at times, working on an 11/5 plane. Changeup has a fastball look out of the hands before showing late run and dive.

6/6/17
A right-hander that starts in an open setup. Gets back to even with a low leg kick. Hands move back to launch. Path is slight downhill. Stronger than he is fast with the bat. Flashed gap to gap pop in batting practice. In the infield he looks smooth and athletic. Hands really work. Arm is clean and ball comes out of his hand well. On the mound he has a very fluid tempo to a delivery that requires little effort. Frame and arm action point to more velo to come. Sat 78-80 mph with his fastball on this day. Change-up was his most impressive secondary offering. Maintains arm speed and has a fastball look out of the hand before showing late run and sink at 74-76 mph. Also throws a sharp breaking ball at at 72-73 mph. The pitch has depth on an 11/5 plane with enough break to miss barrels.
