5-foot-9, 165-pound, small, solid, strong athletic frame. The hands, wrists, legs have strength to them with fast twitch actions. Defensively, is extremely quick and active behind the dish, looks to be a solid leader back there as well, worked extremely well with pitchers. The stance is wide, base is balanced, hands are very strong when receiving keeps pitch in the zone, gives the umpire something to see. The feet are quick, he gains ground on throws and closes down the front side. The transfer is glove to hand, arm action is short, throws from a high ¾ slot, throws were on a line to second. The arm was clocked at 76 mph from chute, arm strength is above average and pop times of 2.03-2.18. At the plate, hits from the right side, the hands start at shoulder height, bat angle is correct, feet are slightly open, and little wider than shoulder width, sits in a small crouch. For timing has a controlled leg raise, gains ground with the stride, hands get loaded and stay back. The swing is level across his chest, stays through the ball well and punished to both gaps, hits the ball extremely hard, doesn't get cheated with his hacks. Finishes the swing with two hands, rolls hands late, has some extension. Big time follow, can play on both sides of the field, need to get an early glance at this one.
