5’11, 170-pound corner infielder showed a jump in his exit velocity (6 ticks) and improved his 60 substantially since we saw him last year.  Medium, athletic frame w/ some well-proportioned lean strength, projectable.  Offensively, hits w/ a slightly open, slightly crouched stance w/ short hand rhythm into stride to square and short hand load.  Generates bat speed through the zone.  Pull oriented approach w/ lot of line drives when right.  Gap power type w/ projectable pull power as frame continues to mature.  At 1B, shows solid footwork w/ projectable carry to target arm strength.

5-foot-10, 160-pound right-handed hitting corner infielder and right-handed pitcher, strength in frame. Offensively, open setup, hand load back with a barrel wrap, short stride, good balance throughout. Barrel works uphill through the zone, drives the ball gap-to-gap, 81 exit velocity off a tee. Defensively, long arm action, high ¾ slot, 79 across the infield. Fields the corner well, fluid footwork, clean on exchanges, competent hands. Ran a 7.78 laser-timed 60. On the mound, long arm action, ¾ slot. Repeats well. Drop and drive delivery, works on-line, lands square, weak back-side on finish. Fastball sat 74-76, topped out at 78, running action.
