10-3-2018: Athletic freshman shortstop with a loose swing and good barrel control of a contact-oriented swing. Should develop even greater bat control and the ability to drive the ball into the gaps as he gains weight/strength in the future. Plus runner, light on his feet. Present below average arm should easily be at least average in the future. Sure hands with athletic actions on the turf. Draft follow for 2021. (Seifert)
