Scouting Reports
Western New York Open (August 2015) Stands at 5-foot-10, 170 pounds, with an athletic body build. He ran a 4.22 Home to 1st from the left-hand side. He showed really well earlier at the PBR NY Games. He has a smooth approach through the ball, with smooth, soft, quick hands, throws with a clean loose action, arm is very strong with lots of carry, plays through the ball nicely and has accuracy on the target. His arm strength was at 88 MPH. At the plate his setup is relaxed, athletic, and very balanced, short stride, with a smooth load. His hands are very compact and strong, swinging on a level plane with long/full extension through the ball, with an athletic balance throughout the whole swing. He shows power to all sides of the field. His exit velocity was 85 MPH. He is a plus outfielder and powerful hitter who recently committed to Canisius College.
