5/31/17 A right-handed hitter that starts in a tall setup. Hands move back to launch during short stride forward. Strong kid that takes a level path to the ball. Ball jumps off his bat, showing gap to gap pop. Drove the ball with authority to his pull side. Middle of the lineup skill set. Solid frame for the third base position. Does a nice job of playing low and fielding the ball out in front of his body. Glove skills are above average and he has feel for the position. Mechanically sound. Two-way prospect. On the mound the righty has good tempo to a delivery that requires some effort. Uses an easy leg lift, staying tall at balance point and landing slightly closed at foot strike. Creates efficient energy with his lower half. Arm works through a high-¾ slot with above average arm speed. Ball comes out of his hand well with his fastball sitting 79-81 mph. Spins a 10/4 shaped breaking ball that was very sharp at times. Showed solid feel for the pitch that came in at 69-71 mph. Was at it’s best when he used it to freeze righties.
