5-foot-11, 190-pound infield prospect with strong, athletic frame. In the field, he uses short arm action through ¾ arm slot. Top velocity of 74 mph across the infield. Receives the ball well with softness in his hands. Good instincts. At the plate, the right-handed hitter starts with a slightly open stance and in a bit of a crouch. Uses a short stride with good use of his lower half. Small upper half load. Hands work quickly through the zone with slight uphill path. Fluid rhythm to his swing. Drove the ball well to all fields. Registered top exit velocity of 84 mph. Ran a 7.6 60.

Houle continues to improve.  Improved 60 time to 7.6.  5-foot-11, 190-pound thicker body athlete.  Made all the throws accurately.  Projects to stay at 3B. Softer hands. Arm strength needs to continue to improve (70mph). At the plate had a great round of BP.  Consistently barreled up baseball. Used whole field.  Athletic with fast bat.  Overall maturity will be the key as his body and athleticism improve.  Should hit.
