5-foot-9, 175-pound frame. At the plate, produced a high-end 97 mph exit velocity, the bat the carrying tool at present. Defensively, possesses above-average arm strength at 84 mph from the outfield, to go with a 7.21 laser-timed 60. On the mound, worked a three-pitch mix — fastball at a strong 79-81, topped at 82, alongside a 72-74 mph curveball and a 74-75 mph changeup. The bat has been consistent with prior looks, showing the same high-end exit velocity throughout the day.
