Physical: Projectable, strong 6-foot, 185lb frame. 7.44 runner in the 60-yard dash.
Offensively: LHH. Narrow, taller, slightly open stance. Utilized a simple lift and replace stride back to even, initiating the swing through a flat path towards an on-plane two-handed finish. Stayed on the sweet spot at an 83% clip, landing a couple swings over the 300 foot mark (304 peak). Well-sequenced attack, though he can continue pushing an 87 mph exit velo northward.
Defensively: The outfielder maintains corner appeal while rounding the ball to either side with a soft glove hand. Bends at the waist and sets the shoulders to the target before delivering an accurate 86 mph throw from H ¾ slot.
Pitching: LHP. The southpaw begins from the middle-right side of the rubber with an advanced feel for a three pitch mix. Held every bit of 82-84 mph, running the FB to the arm-side corner with confidence and added a sweeping 63-65 mph SL on a lateral tilt. The CH at 66-68 mph might eventually be his best offering, 100% zone rate.
