Additional Comments: Run producer type that also projects to hit for average. Hit tools translates to the next level. Has hit in game each time we’ve seen him as well.

A right-handed hitter that starts in a balanced stance. Uses a slight back load with hands during short stride for timing. Compact stroke on a level path. Physical bat with more strength than speed through the zone. Although strength is top tool bat speed is also apparent in stroke. Feel hitter that generates gap pop with a nice, easy swing. Stays inside the baseball well, generating natural ball flight to the middle of the field. Middle of the lineup type with more to come as he twitches up. At first base he has the frame for the spot. Plays off with feel. Glove is reliable. Looks to be a solid defender over there.

Home to 1st: 4.49

Starts in a tall, open setup from the right side. Movements are fluid and athletic prior to launch, creating both energy and balance. A physical bat that stays balanced throughout swing. Stroke is intent drive, generating present gap pop. Should see power come out as he adds loft to swing. Handled velocity well in game. At first base he has the frame and above average athleticism for the position. Looks to have feel for the spot, varying depth to create throwing lanes prior to tossing it to second base on double play balls. Looks to be an above average defender in general over there.

Infield Velocity: 65

6-foot-1, 180-pound prospect. On the mound the right-hander has fluidity to his delivery. A strike-thrower that was consistently in the zone with all three of his pitches. Working through a high-3/4 slot he sat 75-78 mph, topping at 80 mph.  with run at times. His best offspeed pitch was his 73-74 mph changeup. The pitch has a fastball look to it before showing very late run and sink. Also spins an 11/5 breaking ball with signs of being sharp at 68-69 mph. Moves light on his feet and does a nice job of creating anglers in the infield. Looked comfortable going to his glove hand side. Right-handed hitter with simple, repeatable swing. Starts in a balanced stance with little wasted movement. Initiates lower half with small leg kick. Creates good torque and transfers weight through contact. Hands work with quickness through the zone on slight uphill. Solid round of BP. Bat jumps off his bat. Top exit velocity of 87 mph. Will only get better as he continues to physically mature and his frame fills out.
