Impressive showing. Smooth athlete from the left side who squared up baseballs throughout his round. Upper 60s type batspeed with high end EVs in the mid 80s.
7/26/22
Good looking swinger from the left side. Knows what he's doing in the box/has a feel for his patterns. Confidence is apparent throughout the round, showing similar bat speed to all zone locations. Everything was barreled with natural spin to all fields. Very impressive. With the glove he’s smooth, hands really work, L/L prospect who can play in the OF or 1B at a well +Avg clip.
