6-foot-1, 160-pound outfield prospect with lanky, athletic frame. Continues to shows maturation in his body. Shows potential to play all three outfield positions, but likely destined for a corner spot. Athletic with natural feel for the position. Throws through high ¾ arm slot. Reached top velocity of 82 mph with carry to his throws. At the plate, the right-handed hitter starts with a small leg kick. Tends to wrap a bit in his load, which can create some length. Still shows some quickness in his bat speed. Takes slight uphill path to the ball. Should only increase power as he adds muscle to his frame. Registered top exit velocity of 82 mph. Ran a 4.52 out of the box.
