Hit: Right-handed hitter that starts in an athletic setup. Confident, smooth movements prior to launch. Aggressive swinger that takes a level path to contact. Natural tools are above average for class. Squared the ball up routinely in BP.
Power: Flashed gap abilities with more to come.
Offensive Projection: Middle ceiling
Field: Smooth infielder that can pick it. Looks to have a left side of the infield profile. Overall projects to be a well above average defender.
Throw: Clean arm with more to come.
Defensive Projection: Left side of infield.
Scouting Notes: Young arm out of springboro to keep an eye on. Good athlete out there with feel for his movements. Arm is clean/shows signs of more velocity to come. Solid arsenal with the ability to fill up the zone. Up to 80mph with the heater.
Fastball: Works downhill. Pitch should add easy mphs down the road.
Breaking Ball: Above average offering for class. 11/5 action with good depth and quality break.
Changeup: Impressive third offering for class. Good sell with late arm side action and heavy sink. Also showed a knuckle with some dance.
Pitchability: Strike thrower.
