5-foot-4, 110-pound prospect. At the plate Ethan has very smooth, fluid movements that should translate into added batspeed as he matures. Gets efficient use out of his lower half through a short, aggressive stride while keeping his hands simple. Reached a top exit velocity of 57 mph off the tee with more to come. In the infield he showed off athletic actions and look very confident throughout his defensive evaluation. Was able to field the ball out in front and play through it nicely. From a ¾ slot he threw across the infield with 60 mph arm strength. Ran a 9.75 60-yard dash. On the mound the right-hander has a quicker tempo to a deliver he is able to repeat. His fastball works on a downward plane, sitting between 57-60 mph. Curveball has a 12/6 shape with early, gradual break at 58-59 mph. Also flashed a changeup near fastball armspeed with some sink at 53-54 mph.
