6-foot-2, 185-pound, strong, physical frame, already developing, the neck is long, shoulders are squared off. A right-handed hitting infielder, top tool is his ability to swing the bat. The stance is even, slightly wider than shoulder width. The hands are quiet and start just below the shoulders. The swing is very short to the baseball, stays level through contact and finishes high with one hand. The barrel stays in the zone a long time, hands are inside the baseball. Presently shows to have gap power, works the baseball from field to field. The tee exit velocity was clocked at 85 mph, barrel has life and whip out front on contact. The stride foot gets a bit heavy could slow and ease it down a tick. Ran an 8.31 60 yard-dash. Defensively, hands are soft, moves well to both sides, works low to ground, feet move throughout. The backhand play was made with ease, stays low and comes through the baseball. The arm works from a natural ¾ slot, clocked at 73 mph, had good touch, with carry across the diamond. Projects better for me at third base rather than the middle, good from on glove side at the hot corner. The frame is durable and plays well for a third baseman. The straight line speed needs to continue to improve.
