2/3/18

Looks athletic in the box. Loading sequence is fluid prior to accelerating the bat through the zone on a slightly downhill path. Swing is compact and he has feel for squaring up the baseball. Used all fields in BP with more natural flight to middle/opposite field gap. Contact type bat with more to come. Displayed average to above average exchange skills behind the dish. Movements are fluid/mechanically sound but feet and transfer have room to get quicker.

60-yard dash: 8.09

Pop Times: 2.13-2.25

Catcher Velocity: 65

Exit Velocity: 73
