6-foot-2, 205-pound, RHH hits from a balanced and slightly open stance with loose hands in a higher initial position, uses a fluid rock back into a long stride with a smooth push back of his hands to get loaded, lower half fires to create some initial separation and keeps him balanced but doesn’t always allow his hips to get fully cleared, swing plane is flat through the zone with some lift at the end, very strong kid can drive through the ball with gap-to-gap pop that could end up developing into some real power.  Defensively, showed soft hands and smooth footwork at the corner, played through the ball with confidence, exchange used a glove pat at times, athletic arm action comes through a high ¾ slot. One of the top unsigned hitters still available in Tennessee’s 2017 class.
