A right-handed hitter that starts in an athletic stance. Movements are efficient and fluid to loading sequence. Launches from a balanced setup and takes a very nice path to contact. Path allows for easy lift and a large margin for error in timing. Always has had barrel feel and now has added obvious physicality to frame, resulting and much louder pop than we’ve seen in past. Looks like a different guy physically. Stroked a line drive single in game. In the infield he plays under control with the ability to create consistent angles with feel. Well coached, mechanically sound defender. Ball skills are above average for class. Arm profiles him at second base as of now. Definite college future.

A very solid player with athletic actions on both sides of the ball. At the plate he showed off a fluid, efficient swing. Does a nice job of controlling weight during stride, remaining balanced throughout swing. Impressive barrel feel for age, spraying line drives to both gaps. With his feel and efficiency, expect much more juice as he adds strength with maturity. In the infield he is mechanically sound with smooth actions. Feet are well timed and he maintains rhythm through fielding sequence. Second baseman type presently with the hands for short if he twitches up with maturity. Definite prospect to follow whos best days are ahead of him.

Barrel maintains energy through contact, very rarely rolling over. Solid all-around bat that has the tools to fit in a multiple of different roles moving forward. A very mechanically sound infielder that does a nice job of creating angles with his footwork. Glove skills are adequate for his age. How his arm strength progresses will likely determine what side of the field he plays on.
