A right-handed bat that starts in an athletic stance. Gets things going with a smooth leg kick keeping hands simple prior to launch. Swing is nice and easy on a level path. Offers a balanced repertoire of strength and speed to hands. Swing is efficient and he should see much more pop as he twitches up. Currently offers line drive pop. In the infield he moves light on his feet with fluid actions. Glove works well in and out of funnel. Made all the plays in his defensive eval with an impressive play to backhand side. Two-way prospect. On the bump the right-hander has consistent tempo to a delivery that requires little effort. Showed a steady dose of all his offerings. Arm works through a high-¾ slot with his fastball sitting 73-75 mph. Looks very comfortable in his changeup and throws it often. The pitch has some depth with regular downward action at 62-64 mph.

6-foot-2, 175-pound prospect.  At the plate he is a righty swinger that starts in a balanced setup. Uses a leg lift load while keeping hands quiet. Path is uphill with solid strength through contact. Bat speed is above average for his class. Worked predominantly to pull side. In the infield he move slight on his feet and plays with confidence. Glove skills stay on the move. An above average athlete for the third base position. Actions are more athletic outside funnel. On the bump the righty has an uptempo delivery that requires some effort. Uses a quick, chest high leg lift prior to his stride. Lands slightly open at foot strike, finishing to the first base line. Arm action is long back with developing arm speed, while working through a high-¾ slot. Fastball is deceiving as velocity isn’t overwhelming but the pitch showed late cut and dive. His go to secondary offering was the breaking ball. The pitch had some depth while working on a 10/4 plane. Used the pitch to try to put away hitters.
