Physical: 5-foot-10, 140 pounds; Wiry, slender build. 7.67 runner in the 60.
Offensively: LHH. Even setup, with feet just outside his shoulders; has a pre-pitch bat waggle. Short take back with the hands with a toe-tap for timing. Stays behind the ball while showing a strong lower half. Showed a direct swing path with a two handed finish. More flyballs than line drives and groundballs with a peak exit velocity of 83 MPH via Trackman. Displayed the ability to hit the ball into the gaps with some lift.
Defensively: Starts with a balanced setup; uses prep step while displaying fluid actions to the baseball. Hands work through the ball with a clean transfer. Moderate arm circle from a standard 3/4 arm slot. INF - 74 MPH. Showed good usage of his feet and stayed under control while attacking the ball.
Physical: Lean, wiry, developing 5-foot-7, 125lb frame. 8.42 runner in the 60-yard dash.
Offensively: LHH - Narrow, upright stance with the hands staying up by the shoulder on the turn. Utilized a controlled toe-tap stride to initiate the swing through a flat, direct path with solid bat to ball skills. Really adjustable hitter that consistently found the sweet spot (75% SS rate) while keeping it on a line during his round. Potential to be a future bat that hits for AVG, strength will come. Notched a 76 mph bat-exit velocity at this look.
Defensively: The primary shortstop arrived on time with some bounce to his step. Worked from right to left down through the ball with a soft glove hand that gave consistently at the touch. Displayed an accurate 66 mph arm-strength from a short H ¾ release.
