8/2/16 5-foot-11, 170-pound athletic body frame. The infielder uses good footwork to approach ground balls, while continuing to play through the baseball. Fields with his hands out in front of his body, and gets rid of the ball quick. Throws with a clean, short arm action through a ¾ slot using 74 mph velocity across the infield. Right-handed hitter starts from a wide base using a good, rhythmic weight shift with his lower half to his back leg to generate power, before using an inward turn with his front foot for timing. Has a fluid load with his hands moving to his back shoulder, swinging with a level bat path through the zone. Showed the ability to use both sides of the field during his round of batting practice. Recorded a top exit velocity of 83 mph and ran a 4.64 home to first base time.
2/14/16 5-foot-11, 175-pound right-handed hitter. Ran a 6.99 60-yard dash and posted a 79-mph exit velocity. Hit from a square stance with a short stride. Would benefit from adding strength to his frame and keeping his barrel up when he launches his hands in order to maintain a shorter path to the ball. Defensively, he exhibited 80-mph arm strength and would benefit from keeping his feet in rhythm through the catch and from fielding the baseball further out front of his body.
