6/6/16
6-foot, 195-pound strong frame. The righty uses a simple approach at the plate by taking his hands slightly back during his short stride forward. Even though he is simple he gets efficient use out of his mechanics. Bat gets through the zone with strength and above average batspeed on a downhill path. Produced consistent line drives in batting practice and showed his power off by hitting a homerun in game play. Topped at 88 mph exit velocity of the tee and ran a 7.39 60-yard dash. An above average fielder and thrower. Obvious arm strength with carry to his throws. Top velocity of 85 mph. Will only get better as he plays more from his toes and less from his heals. Adjustment will create more momentum through his throws and better incorporate his lower half.

5-foot-11, 180-pound athletic build. The right-handed hitter uses a swing full of fluid athletic movements to keep his aggressive approach while remaining under control. He consistently made hard contact and showed the ability to create backspin to both sides of the field. Also showed impressive bat speed by registering an exit velocity of 94 mph. Mechanically sound in the outfield he does a good job of playing through the ball and carrying momentum into his throws. He threw with accuracy and 86 mph arm strength to home plate. Ran a 4.19 from home to first. 

7/15/15

5-foot-11, 180-pound athletic build. Right handed hitter that starts open and gets to even. Short, compact swing with a good, flat path that stays in hitting zone. Registered the top exit velocity of the showcase at 94 mph. Was 4.68 home to first. In the outfield he takes good routes. Takes too many steps on his transfer with 80 mph arm strength from a 3/4 slot. On the mound he has a compact delivery with good direction. Throws from a short, high-3/4 slot with fastball sitting 76-77 mph. Tends to slow down on his breaking ball at 68-69 mph with 11/5 tilt.
