S
7/17/18 A righty swinger that starts in a tall stance. Uses a leg kick for timing as hands stay quiet through load and into launch. Downhill path with a swing that offers a balanced combination of strength and speed. Impressive feel for the barrel. Line drive guy who should grow into gap abilities as physical maturation takes its course. In the infield he plays with quick, quiet feet while reading the baseball. Plays low and fields the ball out in front of body. Ball skills are on parr to slightly above average for class. Fluid transfer with the ability to use multiple arm angles. Also showed an above average skill set across the board behind the dish. Exchange skills are quick and arm is accurate with strength on par for class. Solid young player to follow.
