Athletic & what they look like. Pleasant surprise, as he was unknown before the event and showed really well. Two way player for now, as he is just a freshman and he shows flashes of next level potential as a hitter and pitcher. Leaning towards the bat right now. Shows fast hands, while producing elite hand and bat speed marks of 26.3 and 79.5 with a very projectable EV of 90.6. With a 6-1 185 Lb build, the hope is that he continues to improve and get stronger, as well as continues to grow and develop. Looks the part right now of an upperclassman and the body is tight and toned throughout! Also produced a 85 mph velo from the OF and on the mound features a loose arm to reach a FB max of 84 with an over the top downer CB 68 and fade life CH 73. Really looking forward to following his progress as his freshman campaign gets underway next spring.
