6-foot-1, 158-pound, longer, wide athletic frame. The neck is long, shoulders are squared off has room for future development. A right-handed hitting left-side infielder. At the plate, wide and even stance. The hands are held at the shoulders with an extended back elbow. For timing uses more of a shift in weight, small pick up and put down with stride foot. The swing is level through the zone, small cut off at end, could stay through it longer. The tee exit velocity was clocked at 74 mph, with more in there as adds more of finish. Time down the line on his dig was 4.90. Defensively, the hands are soft and catches everything out front, with a smooth transfer to throwing hand. Showed to move well to both sides, gets off the blocks quick for a big kid. The arm works clean from a ¾ slot, clocked at 66 mph, with good feel on all throws. The double play starts were correct, keeps feet moving. The backside lower half could stay stronger, tends to drop, will make everything a tick more crisp. Interesting follow, big body athlete.
Home-First: 4.90
Exit Velocity: 74 MPH
Arm Velocity: 66 MPH
