5-foot-11, 165 pounds with an athletic frame.  Potential two-way guy at the next level.  Registered an impressive 4.18 home to first time.  In the outfield, he features fluid footwork, and a clean transfer.  Plays well through the ball and gets good carry on his throws.  Reached an impressive top arm velocity of 88 mph from the outfield.  The right handed hitter starts with a straight on stance and uses an early load.  Displays an uphill bat path and shows gap to gap ability at times.  Rotational hitter.  Top exit velocity of 82 mph.  On the mound, he throws from a 3/4 arm slot with long arm action.  Has good command of his 80-82 mph fastball which shows some late arm side run.  His 67-68 mph curveball showed 2/8 tilt.  His best secondary pitch is his 68-69 mph changeup.  His changeup features good diving action, and is thrown at fastball arm speed.

5-foot-11, 170-pound two-way prospect. Shows most promise as a pitcher. Uses an 80-82 mph fastball with some sink to it from the left side. Velocity should increase with better use of his lower half. His best off-speed pitch is a 70-72 mph changeup thrown near fastball arm speed with good fade. Also displayed a 67-68 mph breaking ball with 1/7 break. In the infield, he uses short arm action through a high ¾ arm slot. Reached a top velocity of 75 mph on his throws from the outfield. Showed good footwork and played through the ball.

Registered a 7.12 60-yard dash. Uses short arm action through a high ¾ arm slot while reaching a top velocity of 76 mph. Shows quick footwork and transfer. At the plate, the right-handed hitter starts with a slightly open stance. Uses a short stride with a high hand trigger. His swing will be aided by simplifying his load. Takes short, slightly uphill path to the ball. On the mound, the southpaw requires some effort to his delivery. His fastball sits 76-78 mph with some run. His curveball is 57-60 mph, but he tends to slow down his arm action. His changeup is his best off-speed pitch. It sits 60-61 mph and shows good fade.
