5-foot-8, 175-pound, solid, thick, strong athletic frame, a well proportioned athlete. Committed to Rhode Island College after this event, had a tremendous workout. A two way player, performed well on both sides of the field. At the plate, was on base all day and made hard contact. The stance is even, wider than shoulder width and balanced, simple approach to the baseball.The hands are loose at the shoulders, lower half is under control, simple pick up and put down with stride foot. The swing is short to the baseball, stays through it and finishes high with one hand. The hands work with easy effort, approach is more line drive looks to go middle to pull side. The tee exit velocity was clocked at 76 mph, more in there as he adds strength. Ran the sixty-yard dash at 7.40 on a slow track. Defensively, from the outfield footwork is advanced steps through and gains ground. The arm action is clean and works out of a high ¾ slot, clocked at 81 mph. Throws are down hill and gives the fielder something to handle. Off the mound, gets loaded up on the backside, direction is inline and builds momentum down the mound, looked to be comfortable. The arm action is tick longer, with a small jab on the backside, comes through from a high ¾ slot. The fastball reached 81 mph, lived in the bottom part of the zone. Showed feel for both secondary pitches, changeup has fade and down action clocked at 74 mph, sold with good arm speed. The breaking ball had a bigger top to bottom break, clocked at 65 mph. Solid sign will be a good one.
