2/14/15 - 5-foot-9, 130-pound RHP uses loose arm action and works through a high-3/4 slot, has some effort in delivery, aggressive hip load, good lower half direction, fastball sat 73-76 mph topping at 77 and is straight, showed a harder curveball for age at 64-68 mph with 11/5 action, lacked some feel in throwing the curveball for strikes but should develop into a solid pitch, also throws a 64-68 mph changeup that is straight, arm works and should continue to develop on the mound with growth and physical maturity. As a position player, right-handed hitter hits from a balanced stance with a short stride, gets close to arm bar creating some length in swing, line drive type hitter with level swing path, average bat speed, 75 mph exit velocity, ran 7.77 60-yard dash, young prospect with solid offensive foundation to build from as he gets physically stronger. Defensively, shows sure hands, average footwork, loose arm with good arm strength for age, 74 mph across the infield.
