Physical: Long and projectable 6-foot-1, 180-pound frame with athleticism found in the movements. Penn State Harrisburg commit. 7.15 runner in the 60-yard dash. 

Offensively: RHH. Bent, balanced stance with the hands starting high next to the ear in the setup. Utilized a repeatable lift and replace stride while keeping stretch in the hands in order to launch a quick and violent, slightly uphill path through the hitting zone. Hand speed was evident in the box and the RHH was able to consistently get to a power position at impact; had no troubles getting deep through extension and stayed on pitches well over the plate. Displayed an athletic and adjustable lower half at the plate allowing the hands to match the pitch plane early and often. Showcased a pull-side approach during batting practice peppering the LCF gap with hard contact, registered a top bat-exit velocity of 96 mph per Trackman Baseball / 363 foot maximum batted ball distance. 

Defensively: The primary outfielder demonstrated long and fluid movements during defensive evaluations in either direction, got downhill through the baseball while fielding off of the left side of his body on the approach. Above average catch and throw skills and live, high ¾ arm slot with plenty of carry towards the target. OF - 89 mph

Pitching: RHP - Deep side rocker step with a medium-high leg lift showing slight hip coil, good direction towards the plate with solid extension on the release, high ¾ slot with a full arm circle. FB ranged from 84-85 mph with life at the plate, up to 1722 spin per Trackman Baseball, mixed in a 68-70 mph breaker with 11/5 shape and short depth to it. Countered with a 71-73 mph CH with low spin and deception out of the hand.

Defensively: Upright; laid back approach, smooth footwork with clean transitions. Seamless transfer; standard 3/4 arm slot. OF - 81 MPH.
