Physical: The recent Fairleigh Dickinson recruit features an athletic, lean 6-foot, 165lb profile with above-average footspeed (6.81 runner in the 60-yard dash).  

Offensively: RHH - Balanced, upright stance with small rhythm in the hands at the shoulder; utilized a barrel tip on time with a leg lift in order to initiate the bat head through a twitchy, flat path with connected/rotational power at the plate. Used the ground well for his size, generating big time strength when getting the hands extended. Created hard contact to the LCF gap (38% line drive rate) and worked his way up to a peak of 88 mph bat-exit velocity via Trackman Baseball. Handled pitches on both sides of the plate with feel for the barrel; top of the order qualities that should transfer moving forward. 

Defensively: Low, rangy defender with intent in each step during routes; confident in the footwork with a soft, above-average glove hand absorbing the baseball into the beltline on clean exchanges. Used a glove-tap after fielding while getting straight line towards the target, projects to handle a middle infield role down the line with ability to make plays on the run. Moderate arm swing and accurate high ¾ slot (77 mph arm). 

Physical: 6-foot, 165 lb lean, athletic build. 7.01 runner in the 60.

Offensively: Upright, balanced stance with feet even and some bend in the knees, hands start up in front of the back shoulder with some waggle; initiates with a simple low leg lift stride while the hands load back and up; the hands are fluid and quick with the barrel getting on plane early and staying through the zone with + bat speed ( 71 MPH bat speed / 26 G's Rotational Acceleration / 75% On Plane Efficiency per Blast Motion) yielding consistent hard line drive contact. Peak exit velo 88 MPH.

Defensively: OF: Quality first step with steady footwork playing downhill through the ball; confident glove fielding the ball outside the left foot with a seamless transfer to a moderate arm swing through a high 3/4 release, 77 MPH. INF: Athletic footwork playing low to the ground while building momentum through the ball; glove is soft with quick, clean transfers to a short arm action through a 3/4 release, 78 MPH.

5-foot-11, 160-pound right-handed hitter starts from a square stance and initiates his swing with a lift-and-replace stride. Displayed a direct swing path with balance throughout and a line drive approach. Registered a bat exit velocity of 81 mph and ran a 7.01 60-yard dash. Displayed capable actions in the infield and outfield defensively with max arm velocity of 75 mph.
