Stays behind the ball while showing an average effort from the legs. Showed a compact swing path with a two handed finish.  More line drives than flyballs and groundballs with a peak exit velocity of L91/R89 MPH via Trackman. From the rright side, the swing is similar with just a touch more drag in the barrel which in turn creates a little more barrel whip and pop.

Defensively: Starts with an upright /tall setup; uses prep hop while playing low to the ground. Hands are out in front with a clean transfer. Moderate arm circle from a high 3/4 arm slot.  INF - 82 MPH. 

Pitching: Uses a glove side setup while using a side step. Belt high leg drive with shoulders above the hips. Has a moderate stride while landing slightly closed. Moderate arm swing while showing some scap load; standard 3/4 slot. Upright with finish. FB: Peak velo of 84 MPH, while sitting 83-84 MPH; life through the zone. CB: 67-69 MPH; late action.  CH: 72-74 MPH; runs.

6/15/21

Physical: Strong, athletic 5-foot-10, 160lb frame with good connection in all phases and two-way abilities. 7.22 runner in the 60-yard dash. 

Offensively: Switch-hitter - even, slightly upright stance with the hands showing rhythm while getting into the slot through a flat path at the hitting zone past the rib cage. Utilized an on-time leg lift with advanced feel from both sides at the plate yielding extra-base hit skills and a T90 mph bat-exit velocity per Trackman Baseball during his round. Posted good B2B from RF line to LCF, staying inside producing a 32% line drive rate with a chance to hit for AVG. Will be a tough top of the order presence as he continues adding strength. 

Defensively: The primary shortstop featured an up-tempo, advanced defensive round showing the glove hand out in front and funneling softly into the chest. Kept the feet moving towards the target with polish, getting downhill and releasing from H ¾ accurately on target (81 mph arm, left side projection). Handled plays on the run as well, dropping down a little lower when needed.

Pitching: RHP - Started off the left side of the rubber with consistent pace down the slope. Landed athletically into an adjustable, semi-sturdy front side allowing for good weight distribution, releasing H ¾ into the strike zone at 80-83 mph for strikes (54% zone rate via Trackman). Later added a sharp 68-70 mph CB with feel for spin and occasional swing/miss tendencies, mixing a commanded 73-75 mph CH to arm-side.


2/07/21

Physical: Lengthy 5-foot-10, 160-pound frame with projectability in the build. 7.63 runner in the 60-yard dash. 

Offensively: Switch hitter - Advanced feel for both sides in which he mirrors the movements from each with consistency. Upright, open stance with the hands showing rhythm at shoulder height. Utilized a leg hang stride with some drift outwards towards the pitcher. Landed in a good position launching the bat head through a flat path into the hitting zone; recorded a 32% line drive rate peppering the LCF gap with hard contact, notched an 88 mph bat-exit velocity with current doubles power evidenced by a near 300 foot peak batted ball distance during batting practice. Showed flashes of a developing power ceiling, which he can still tap into as he matures (20.2 G’s of rotational acceleration). 

Defensively: The primary shortstop flashed confidence in a soft glove hand working smoothly out in front of the body; quick funnel into the belt line with some pace across the diamond. Got to a “V slot” and let it rip across the diamond (78 mph arm strength) as the actions suggested a stay on the left side of the infield moving forward, working at a high level. 

Pitching: RHP - Solid pace on the bump from the middle of the rubber, traditional leg lift at the top of the stack with good drop and drive technique towards the plate. H-¾ slot yielded 79-81 mph FB’s with accuracy at the plate (50% zone rate). Mixed a tight 66 mph breaker with up to almost 2400 spin, countered with a 75 mph CH with above-average arm side fade.
