Physical: Sturdy and strong 6-foot, 180-pound frame with long levers in the build. 7.94 runner in the 60-yard dash. Offensively: RHH. Upright stance with a slightly open setup as the weight was coiled around a backside leg firmly connected to the ground, the hands started straight up and down at shoulder height. Utilized a short leg-lift stride in order to initiate the hands through a flat barrel path and into the hitting zone. Good depth to the swing while staying behind the baseball with a short path overall, turned the bat head around early and had no issues staying inside the ball at impact, showed mostly a middle of the field approach with noticeable lift at the plate during batting practice. Recorded a peak bat-exit velocity of 83 mph according to Trackman Baseball / 313 foot maximum batted ball distance. Defensively: The primary backstop featured a moderate setup in the crouch with adequate feel behind the dish receiving using a soft glove hand at the catch point. Pop times ranged from 2.18-2.22 using short and directional straight line footwork towards the bag, adequate arm strength out of a quick, high ¾ slot with a feel for transfers. Got the body around the baseball when blocking creating downward chest angles on either side of the plate. C - 75 mph

Physical: Large and physical 6-foot, 180-pound frame with advanced strength in the lower half. 7.84 runner in the 60-yard dash.

Offensively: RHH. Wide, even stance with hands showing slight rhythm by the ear for the setup. Utilizes a slightly backwards move to the shoulder for launch coupled with a repeatable lift-and-replace stride for the timing mechanism. The swing is pulled through a flat barrel path to contact while getting tall with the posture during the finish. Stayed mostly to the pull-side during batting practice with occasional lift when on time at the front of the plate allowing for an 86 mph bat-exit velocity per Trackman Baseball.  

Defensively: Adequate receiver with a soft glove hand at the catch point. Pop times range from 2.00-2.08 on the bag. Demonstrated a strong lower half with quality straight line footwork while gaining ground; showcased adequate transfers to a moderate takeaway, high ¾ arm-slot on the front side. Displayed comfortability while blocking with ability to recover to either bag.  C - 75 MPH.

5-foot-10, 180-pound right-handed hitter starts from a square stance and initiates his swing with a lift-and-replace stride.
