A left-handed hitter that starts in an athletic setup. Uses a toe turn to initiate lower half. Upper half is fluid until launch. Strong kid that takes an uphill path to the baseball. Ball jumped off his bat when he found the barrel. Swings with intent. Middle of the lineup type guy. At third base he plays under control with fluidity to his actions. Gets solid reactions off the bat and moves well laterally. Glove skills are there. Has enough arm to play on the left side. Showed obvious feel for the position. On the hill the right-hander has a smooth delivery that requires little effort. Uses an easy leg lift and lands in line to home plate at foot strike. Arm action is clean with above average arm speed. Showed an impressive fastball/curveball combo while working through a high-¾ slot. Fastball was mostly straight through the zone at 76-78 mph. Breaking ball was a good one. The pitch showed sharp downward action with a 12/6 shape. Puts good spin on the pitch, giving it depth at 66-68 mph. Also mixed in a changeup, near fastball arm speed at 72-74 mph.
