9/25/16 - 60 Time: 7.47, Position Velocity:  IF-80, Exit Velocity: 82
5-foot-11, 180-pound, LHH hits from a balanced and even stance with some relatively high hand positioning, uses a short and sudden stride with a smooth push back and slight lowering of his hands to get loaded, lower half works well and gets his lower half through the zone while keeping a wide and solid base, bat path is flat through the zone with some lift at the end, had a good round of BP and is at his best when he’s hitting line drives up the middle.  Defensively, showed average hands and footwork around the bag, could’ve played through the ball better, lower exchange leads to a long arm action through an over-the-top release point.

9/25/16 - Max FB: 77, FB: 75-77, CB: 58-61, CH: 65-68,
5-foot-11, 180-pound, LHP uses a smooth motion that’s consistent and very repeatable, hands stay together near chest height throughout rocker step and fairly high leg lift, gets a very slight shoulder tilt and a good hip load at the top, strides in line with the plate and stays mostly balanced with only an occasional and slight lean toward 3B, arm action starts longer and shortens up to come through a low ¾ slot.  Fastball stayed mostly straight, curveball showed 1/7 shape with some gradual movement through the zone, changeup was mostly a change of pace.
