9/20/15 5-foot-10, 150-pound right-handed hitter. Starts from a wide, square stance, taking a short stride initiated with a heel raise. Some arm bar is created by a deep load of the hands leading to the barrel dragging through the hitting zone at times with a bat exit velocity of 70 mph. Showcased pop times of 2.40-2.55 on throws of 62 mph from the crouch. Additional work to better incorporate the lower half would see a significant drop in times.

2/22/15 5-foot-9, 140-pound prospect with average, athletic frame. At the plate, the right-handed hitter initiates his swing with a leg kick. Shows pull tendencies in his swing. Tends to get long, which can inhibit his bat speed through the zone. Creates slight loft with his bat path. Defensively, he starts from a wide base. Pop times ranged between 2.34 to 2.65 with a top velocity of 63 mph. Will improve with improved transfer and exchange and overall physical growth. Ran a 4.62 home to first time.
