Physical: Compact, athletic 5-foot-9, 165lb frame. 7.20 runner in the 60.

Offensively: RHH. Square, shoulder-width stance with some hip-coil, as the hands work loosely by the ear. Utilized a directional lift and replace stride to initiate the swing through an uphill path into the hitting zone. Liked to create torque and get extended on pitches over the plate with an aggressive lower-half. Produced flush contact to the pull-side at 85 mph exit velocity and 309 feet via Trackman.

Defensively: The middle infielder operated cleanly to his glove-hand side, settling down with adequate posture and accurate hands. Fielded off the middle of his body and delivered a strong 80 mph throw from H ¾ slot.

Pitching: RHP. Starts from the left side; some rotational aspects to the delivery, well-sequenced into footstrike with a lower ¾ release. Fast arm that worked 78-80 mostly, T81 mph (2156) with hard run, mixing a 68-71 mph SL with feel to spin. Added killed mid-70’s CH at a 33% zone rate.
