Two-way prospect. On the bump the right-hander has a physical presence. Works exclusively from the stretch. Drop and drive type following a chest high leg lift. Lands in line to home plate with finish carrying him in the same direction. Long arm action with some stiffness in the back. Fastball/slider combo guy through a high-¾ slot. Fastball stays mostly true through the zone with slight run at times sitting 72-75 mph. Slider was impressive. Tight/sharp action across the plate at 65-69 mph. A right-handed hitter at the plate that starts in a balanced setup. Uses a slight back load during his knee pinch timing trigger. Strong kid with above average bat speed through the zone. Path is slightly uphill that causes some path issues. Ball jumps when path is level to contact. Impressive barrel jump with backspin abilities to either gap. A third baseman with the frame for the spot. Quick feet with above average ball skills through fielding. Big arm across the diamond.
