5/31/17 A right-handed hitter that starts in an athletic setup. Initiates swing sequence through a leg kick load. Hands stay loose and fluid throughout load. Path is slightly downhill with well above average bat speed. Drove the ball with authority in batting practice, showing gap to gap pop. In the infield he looked comfortable and athletic. Plays fast and with confidence. Glove skills are above average and he transitions smoothly from fielding into his throws. Throws have good pace and were consistently on target. Moves well outside his funnell.

2/18/17 Defensively, he shows above average strength that will allow him to stay on the left side. Good athleticism in his feet. Covers plenty of ground to his glove side. Would like to see him create angles with the ball hit straight on and keep his footing moving. Has the ability to make throws from different angles. Offensively, he showed off a very fluid swing from the right side. Incorporates a toe turn with his lower half as his hands stay loose as the move to launch. Natural tools are there and he swings with intent. The type of hitter that could play a variety of roles in an offense and has very good feel for the barrel.

10/15/16 A 5-foot-11, 165-pound middle infielder. A smooth swinging righty that looks to be a prototypical top of the lineup guy. Mechanically efficient and maintains his rhythm prior to swing decision. Takes a short, compact path to the ball and finds the barrel often. Consistently produced line drives in BP, showing the ability to use the entire field. Reached a top exit velocity of 85 mph. In the infield he has fluid actions and does a nice job of gaining ground to first base prior to his throws. Glove skills are adequate. Tends to field the ball deep into his body. Threw across the infield with 72 mph arm strength. Ran a 7.53 60-yard dash.
