5-foot-11, 160-pound prospect. On the mound the righty uses a slower tempo that speeds up drastically prior to release. Works through a high-3/4 slot with quickness to his arm. Fastball showed slight run at times while sitting 75-77 mph, topping at 78 mph. Breaking ball showed signs of being sharp on an 11/5 plane at 65-68 mph. Also showed feel for his 70-71 mph changeup. Was in the zone for the most part with all of his pitches. Moves light on his feet in the infield. Showed athleticism to his actions. Right-handed hitter that starts in tall, upright stance. Initiates lower half with slight leg kick and small stride. Transfers weight off the backside. Hands load from shoulder height taking slight uphill path to the ball. Created line drive production in BP round. Top exit velocity of 85 mph off the tee.

5-foot-10, 145-pound prospect. Throws from high ¾ slot with short arm action. Creates downward angle out of the slot. Delivery is a bit rushed and requires some effort. Gets the most out of his frame. Fastball sat at 76-78 mph. Breaking ball showed 11/5 action at 65-66 mph. His changeup is his best off-speed pitch at 66-69 mph. Shows arm side run and locates it in the zone. At the plate he starts open and gets back to even through a toe turn load while taking his hands backwards. Has definite strength and batspeed as he gets through the zone with a level path. Would benefit from adding some rhythm to his load. Reached a top exit velocity of 80 mph with more in the tank. Mechanically sound in the infield, he creates good angles and uses quick footwork. He is sure handed and does a good job of gaining ground before throwing to first base with 78 mph arm strength. Ran a 4.65 from home to first.

5-foot-8, 140-pound projectable frame. In the infield he shows good foot work as an athletic third-baseman might be better used at second base. Displays quicker release time using a clean arm action coming through a ¾ slot reaching a top velocity of 71 mph on his throws across the infield. From the outfield position he displays good foot work on ground balls transitioning into good crow hop mechanics. He throws using a clean arm action coming through a high-¾ slot reaching a top velocity of 72 mph from the outfield. Right-handed hitter that stays back well and shows a flat path with good rotation. Once he gets stronger his bat speed will improve. Registered top exit velocity of 74 mph and ran 7.87-60. On the mound the righty shows a good balance point and direction at foot strike. From over the top his fastball was 70-73 mph with some arm-side run and down angle. Showed a 12/6 breaking ball at 62-66 mph and slows down on his changeup at 60-62 mph.
