6-foot-2, 172 pounds with a long, projectable frame. Ran a 4.52 home to first time. At the plate, the right handed hitter uses a short stride and shows quick bat speed through the zone. Strong build offers power potential through his smooth slightly uphill cut. 82 mph exit velocity. In the outfield, he shows athleticism attacking and playing through the baseball. Topped out at 85 mph. On the mound, the long, lanky right handers arm works as it possesses long arm action through a high 3/4 slot. Relatively slow tempo with delivery. Fastball shows a little comeback movement at times while sitting between 83-85 mph. Breaking ball offers some good depth at 68-69 mph as it breaks through a 11/5 plane. Also mixes in a 72 mph changeup.
