5/20/15 - Live athletic body on a smaller frame. Good all around player. Very good actions with soft hands and an avg arm. Can throw from different slots. Good instincts with a nose for the ball. Good first step quickness with plenty of range. Loose quick bat with surprising power. Aggressive hitter. Good hand eye and stays inside ball well. Uses the whole field. Aggressive on bases with good instincts. Takes risks. Earlier in the year I said he reminded me of Eckstein but he takes a hack more like Pedroia. Somebody will draft him.

2/19/15 - Central Florida commit. 5-foot-9, 180 pound short stop. A rough night for the talented short stop. (2 errors; K and popup to 3B), but he can play the game. Arm is avg ML, and hands and release are plus. Also a great swing. He rifled a line drive that was snagged for a double play. Above avg runner whose instincts in all phases of the game are plus.
2/3 - Smaller framed guy with live actions in the field. Very good actions with soft quick hands. Very instinctive player. Great reads and jumps on defense as well as on the basepaths. Has an avg ML arm. Has above avg range and can throw from all slots. Is super aggressive on the bases. Has no fear. Is a plus runner. Short quick stroke with quickness and very good strength for his size. Line drive type swing. High energy kid. Plays the game like you're supposed to. Closest thing to David Eckstein I've seen since David Eckstein.
Average size compact athletic body. Grinder type kid that competes well. Nothing flashy or tools that stand out, but the kid plays hard and performs. Short quick stroke with good hand eye. Sprays the ball around and uses the whole field. Runs a 6.7, 60. Has good instincts on the bases and is aggressive. Very disruptive baserunner. Solid defender at 2B. Makes routine plays. Can also play OF.
