Scouting Report
A 6-foot-2, 215-pound infielder and right-handed pitcher with a large, physical, strong, and athletic frame. Right-handed hitter that hits out of an athletic, open setup with a slight wrap and bar in the load. Short stride with an explosive lower half and solid balance. Displays big raw power with explosive bat speed and present pull power. Bat path has a tendency to be in and out of zone and there is slight stiffness at times in the swing, but shows exceptional bat speed that recorded an exit velocity of 95 mph. Solid defense infielder with soft hands, a clean exchange, and carry on throws. Footwork is slow and he has a tendency to play on his heels which projects him to be a third baseman with solid arm strength that produced a positional velocity of 82 mph. Right-handed pitcher with a short, stiff arm action and a stab on the backend into a high-3/4 release. Showed quick arm speed and raw arm strength, but struggles to consistently find the proper release point consistently. Fastball sits 86-88 mph touching 90 mph with slight sink, and flashes solid ability to pitch within the strike zone. Displays a solid feel for two different breaking balls, one with 10/4 shape, tight spin, and sharp action at 73-74 mph. And another with 11/5 shape, gradual break, and near fastball arm speed at 67-68 mph. Changeup is a developing pitch with near fastball arm speed and solid fade action at 76-77 mph.
