6/14/17 5-foot-6, 145-pound right-handed hitter who ran a 6.82 60-yard dash. Starts from an open stance and strides slightly closed. Swing can be shouldery, but he attacks the baseball and has the potential to drive a gap (84 mph exit velocity) despite his lack of size. Also showed an ability to make mid-at-bat adjustments during game play. Defensively, he sets up behind the baseball well and posted 72 mph arm strength across the diamond.

2/12/17 5-foot-6, 140-pound right-handed hitter who ran a 6.93 60-yard dash. Consistently barreled the baseball during his BP round and posted an 83 mph exit velocity. Tendency to hook the ball, as he strides closed, cutting off a direct path into the zone and forcing his hands to work around his body. Defensively, he exhibited solid feet and hands with a short, repeatable arm action that generated 75 mph arm strength.

Preseason All-State- NY (February 18, 2016)

5-foot-5, 135-pound right-handed hitter. Ran a 7.10 60-yard dash and posted an 80-mph exit velocity. Starts from an open stance and strides to square. Attacks the baseball and used the middle of the field. Swing can be a bit shouldery, which could be reduced by adding strength to his frame.
