5-foot-11, 183-pound, RHP flashes ability to pitch to both sides of the plate.  Medium, athletic frame w/ some present strength, some projection.  Pitches with a full wind-up w/ short rocker step into back foot setup on first base side of the rubber.  Chest high leg kick w/ little hip turn into a drop and drive and L ¾ release.  Short strider w/ upright finish.  Glove gets to the correct position, but can move more efficiently and help keep on direction.  Lands slightly closed w/ his front foot.  FB w/ some arm-side run and sink.  Short downer gets a little slurvy at times.  Firm straight CH is developing.  Around the zone, developing ability to pitch with intent.

5-foot-11, 183-pound, RHH showed intriguing all-around skills in a corner infield package.  Medium, athletic frame w/ some present strength, some projection.  Offensively, hits from an open, slightly crouched stance w/ back shoulder hand location.  Shift of weight, short stride stays open w/ proper load.  Will improve direction and power by getting closer to square and keeping his hips online for as long as possible.  Good bat path w/ extension at times through the zone.  Doubles hitter w/ the ability to hit both gaps.  Defensively, has some stiffness in the hips, but moves well w/ soft hands and arm strength w/ carry to target.
