8/6/17
A right-handed hitter that starts in a tall, open setup. Squares himself up through a leg lift and controlled stride. A front foot hitter that takes a downhill path to the baseball. Has some strength to his hands with above average bat speed. Consistently produced line drives to the middle of the field. Should grow into more pop with maturity. Laced a triple the in right-center gap during gap action. In the outfield he plays under control in his approach. Slows actions prior to fielding to ensure ball security. Ball skills are adequate. Projects as a corner guy at the next level. On the mound the righty has an uptempo delivery that requires regular effort. Showed a high leg lift prior to his drop and drive load. Arm works through a high-¾ slot with average arm speed. His mid 70s fastball had noticeable run to his arm side. His go to secondary offering was the breaking ball. The pitch is tight, showing an 11/5 shape. Does a nice job maintaining arm speed on the offering.
