5-foot-9, 165 pounds; lean, strong athlete. Interesting profile as middle infielder with natural actions on defense with above-average arm strength who can also strike the ball hard from the right side. On Sunday, he notched a double and a triple, as evidence of this. Swings a long, fast bat with some looseness in the hands off a plane that creates some hard, lofted contact. He’s also a heads-up defender with a sound inner clock that offers some intangible upside that can help him captain an infield. An under-the-radar follow in the class.
