5-foot-7, 130-pound, smaller, thin athletic frame. Looks to be wiry strong, actions and movements are smooth, has room to add mass and weight on. A right-handed hitter, top tool are his legs clocked at 7.25 in the sixty-yard dash, showed a good athletic kick. At the plate, has a balanced simple opposite field approach. The feet are slightly open, shoulder width apart, a taller stance,  lower half is under control, stride is soft and straight. The swing path is level across his chest, finishes the swing with two hands. The tee exit velocity was clocked at 79 mph, with added strength should climb rather quick.  Defensively, showed extremely well, routes and angles were good, footwork was on time, gained ground and stepped through hard. The arm action is super clean, short and crisp on the backside, worked out of a high ¾ slot. Clocked at 77 mph, throws were downhill, gave the catcher something to handle.

Good looking athlete, strength is a must, mechanically sound.

Sixty-Yard: 7.25

Exit Velocity: 79 mph
