Pull-side favoritism on the backside with some east west movement in the shoulders at times. Posted a T92 mph bat-exit velocity at 339 foot distance.

Defensively: The first baseman featured a wider base just outside the shoulders. Shuffled towards the target, replacing feet, and released from a shorter H ¾ slot (81 mph arm strength). Lower effort in this look.

Physical: Compact 5-foot-9, 187-pound frame with plenty of lower half strength. 7.56 runner in the 60-yard dash. 

Offensively: LHH - Narrow, wide open stance from a slight bent position as the hands waved over the head with rhythm. Utilized a deliberate lift and replace stride coupled with a move back to the shoulder for launch in order to initiate the barrel through a flat path in the hitting zone. Demonstrated some sink into the lower half allowing for explosive rotational power at times, recorded a peak batted ball distance of 300 feet per Trackman Baseball and a bat-exit velocity of 86 mph pointing towards usable power in the box. A 36% line drive rate should allow the ability to hit for average as well, while a 24.70 mph hand speed according to Blast Motion is a good sign he can handle velocity down the line. 

Defensively: The outfielder approached the ball with intent to play downhill over the toes while fielding off of the right foot with a soft glove hand. Got the shoulders in line, had no issues with the transfer, and let it rip with accuracy on the plate (75 mph OF arm). 

Pitching: LHP - Started from the middle-right side of the rubber with a small side rocker step, traditional leg lift at belly button height with the knee, easy / repeatable mechanics while landing in-line towards the plate. High ¾ release and pounded the zone with a 75-77 mph FB (75% zone rate per Trackman Baseball). Dropped in a developing 1/7 shaped, 60-61 mph CB with a max of 9 inches of HM as well as -4 inches of depth. A 65-67 mph CH was good (13.2 inches of HM to the arm side) and created deception at the plate on occasion.
