Positional Profile: SS/3B RHH/INF…will add needed strength in future. Athleticism present. Good defender in future with good raw arm strength. Moves well on baseball field. Solid bat/power combo in future. Opportunities present for adjustments with lower 1/2 in swing. Fun to watch develop in future.
Body: 6-1, 179-pounds. Good build/frame for needed added strength. Projects to have good build.
Hit: RHH. Lands in good position to hit after stride. Rotational back foot, gets stuck at times, slight linear movement forward. Work to get foot fully rotated at all times. Drive back foot/hip forward into firm front side maximizing lower 1/2 use. Presently, back foot slides away from plate at times, ideally, should go to mound except on pitches away, can slide away for balance on pitches away. Posture is solid on swing. Barrel/hands in good launch position. Solid path to hit zone with both hands and barrel. Pull conscious, would benefit from using all fields. 67.7 mph bat speed with 14 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 95 max exit velocity, averaged 91.3 mph. 322' max distance. Solid bat/power combo in future. Opportunities for adjustments with lower 1/2 in swing improving lower 1/2 use and ability to impact baseball. Swing works, pull approach presently, but swing works.
Arm: RH. INF-88 mph. Arm works with carry to throws, see with plus arm in future.
Defense: Feet work well getting body to baseball to field and playing thru baseball. Fields baseball deep, must work to field ball out front, get bent at waist and work hands/glove in front. Solid future with adjustments.
ATH: 7.23 runner in the 60. 1.90 and 4.15 in the 10 and 30 yard splits. Moves well, runs hard. Will definitely improve with added strength.
