6-foot-4, 160 pound right-handed hitter. Went 2-for-2 against ISA Stars with two singles, a walk, and an RBI. A simple and smooth load back, short and level path to the ball with bat speed. His thin/large frame helps safely project for much harder contact in the future, if he’s able to add muscle and weight as he develops. His feel to hit is present, which has made him an intriguing bat to follow in the state’s ‘22 class, given his highly projectable frame.
