10/23/16 5-foot-11, 175-pound prospect. Ran a 4.58 from home to first. At the plate he starts in an athletic setup prior to getting his load started through a leg kick. During his stride forward he takes his hands back near his shoulder. Makes contact with the majority of his weight on his back leg, causing an uphill path. Would be aided by transferring weight at swing decision to level out his path and get more of his lower half involved. Reached a top exit velocity of 75 mph and showed gap to gap pop in batting practice. In the outfield he uses controlled footwork approaching the ball and plays through it efficiently. Working through an over the top slot, with looseness to his arm he threw to home plate with 74 mph arm strength.
