Physical: Large, physical 6-foot, 200-pound frame with present athleticism in the actions evidenced by being a 7.19 runner on lasers at the PA State Games.

Offensively: RHH. Easy, balanced stance with hands rocking slightly for rhythm along the ear as the barrel works upward & back upon load coupled with a controlled lift and replace stride for the timing mechanism. Generates extremely fluid swings in the box showcasing a powerful lower half yielding line drives and hard-hit flyballs to the pull-side primarily. Utilizes a slightly uphill barrel path through contact while getting on plane early and often. Hits into a stiff front side with adjustability at the plate allowing for a 97 mph bat-exit velocity per Trackman.

Defensively: Sneaky athleticism at the hot corner combined with a moderately low center of gravity allows for easy routes to the baseball. Adequate footwork beats the ball to the spot creating some downhill momentum through a strong lower half at the fielding window. Was able to get rid of the ball when need be, showing off quick and repeatable transfers while playing near a 4.0 second pace during defensive evaluations. Made the play on the run with relative ease showing the ability to throw from multiple arm angles. 3B - 75 MPH.

5-foot-10, 180-pound right-handed hitter starts from an open stance and initiates his swing with a lift-and-replace stride. Stays behind the baseball well and shows above average ability to drive both gaps with a bat exit velocity of 90 mph. Ran a 7.33 60-yard dash and showcased the ability to play through the baseball with athletic actions and accurate 75 mph arm strength across the diamond.

5-foot-8, 160-pound right-handed hitter starts from an open stance and initiates his swing with a controlled stride to square. Flashed an aggressive hip turn and an above average feel for the barrel with a bat exit velocity of 81 mph. Displayed active feet and accurate 67 mph arm strength at third base while routinely playing through the baseball.
