5-foot-8, 160-pound prospect. A young prospect that showed good strength and batspeed through the zone for his age. Taking a level path to the ball he was able to consistently square up the ball in batting practice. Should see an increase in his 78 mph exit velocity once he learns how to use his lower half more efficiently. Ran a 4.56 from home to first. At third base he did a good job of playing low and was able to finish his throws. Will need to work on quickening his footwork. He threw across the diamond with 74 mph arm strength. On the mound he shows a big inward turn to start his delivery. Long arm action with average arm speed. Throws through high ¾ slot. Some stabbing action on the back end. Fastball was straight and thrown for strikes at 72-74. Breaking ball had gradual 11/5 action at 60-62 mph. Changeup showed occasional arm side run at 70-71 mph.

5-foot-8, 160-pound thin build. At the plate he shows good balance in his approach. Uses a high leg kick load before the swing. Swings on a downward plane through the zone. Registered a top exit velocity of 71 mph. In the infield, he fields the ball out in front, cradles the ball into his body and transitions into a high ¾ slot with 67 mph arm strength across the diamond. Ran a 4.88 from home to first. On the mound he lands on line at foot strike. Shows a long arm action into a high ¾ slot with average arm speed. Two pitch mix with the fastball sitting 68-70 mph. Curveball sits 58-60 mph on an 11/5 plane.
