6/27/18 - 60 Time: 7.62, Position Velocity: IF-78, Exit Velocity: 80 5-foot-9, 190-pound, LHH shows an intriguing offensive profile that needs to be seen in a game format. Short, stocky frame w/ present strength throughout, some physical projection. Offensively, hits w/ a very slightly open, upright stance w/ quiet hands into short shift of weight, stride to square and proper load. Generates bat speed through the zone, more bat speed than exit velocity suggests. Simple, repeatable swing. Projects to hit for average with still head. All fields approach w/ lot of line drives when right. Projectable pull power. Defensively, shows solid hands w/ some length in his release, profiles best at 2B.
9/4/16 - Home-1st: 4.92, Position Velocity: IF-73, Exit Velocity: 80 5-foot-8, 160-pound, LHH hits from a tall and open stance, uses a longer but under control stride in which his front foot stays low and close to the ground, hands wrap just a bit to finish his load, lower half works well and gives him a good base to get his back side through, hands stay simple and flat through pitches up in the zone but get steed on anything lower, came around some balls in BP. Defensively, showed decent hands and footwork, approached the ball with purpose but looked mechanical at times, should trust his athleticism more, short arm action through a high ¾ release point produced accurate throws with average arm strength across the infield.
