Solid performance in the outfield. Times feet well to maintain rhythm and momentum through fielding and into throws. Ball skills play out there. Corner type with an accurate arm. A right-handed hitter at the plate that starts in a balanced stance. Goes with a small leg lift for timing during back load with hands. Physical kid with an intent driven swing. Quick hands through the zone with barrel getting through contact with authority. Does damage when he squares it up. Two-way prospect. On the mound the right-hander works with a slower paced tempo to a delivery that requires little effort. Uses a chest high leg lift prior to rolling into an efficient hip load. Lower half creates both energy and direction. Long back arm action through a near over the top slot. Fastball stays true through the zone sitting 78-82 mph. Breaking ball has big, sharp action on an 11/5 plane. The pitch created consistent swing/miss and weak contact throughout the outing coming in at 67-70 mph.

A right-handed hitter that starts in a taller setup. Looks confident and athletic in the box. Uses a leg kick for timing and energy. Hands move back to launch at release. Path is downhill with above average bat speed. Ball comes off his bat well, showing gap to gap pop in batting practice. Impressive natural tools. Behind the plate he starts in a mid crouch. Gets out of his crouch well with quick footwork. Exchange skills are adequate. Solid arm action for the position. On the mound the right-hander has an uptempo delivery that requires some effort. A drop and drive type guy that gets adequate energy from his lower half. Uses long back arm action with some quickness to his arm. Works through a high-¾ slot with his fastball sitting 78-80 mph. Spins a 12/6 curveball that he showed obvious confidence in. The pitch showed signs of sharpness at it dropped through the zone at 67-68 mph.
