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.

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.
