8/1/17 6-foot, 180-pound prospect. At the plate the righty gets things going with a controlled stride. Barrel gets vertical prior to launch. Path is downhill with some barrel whip. Strong kid with above average bat speed. Swing is unique but effective. Showed feel for the barrel. Was at his best when barrel flowed to the middle of the field, producing flush contact. Behind the plate he starts in a lower crouch. Actions are athletic out of his stance. Footwork is mechanically sound creating solid directions. Showed the ability to throw from knees. Exchange skills are fluid with average quickness. 60-yard Dash: 7.52 Pop Time: 2.04-2.21 Catcher Velocity: 73 Exit Velocity: 81

5-foot-11, 150-pound average frame. At the plate he showed good rhythm taking his hands back during his toe-turn load from the right side. His bat gets through the zone with some quickness on a slightly downhill path. Reached a top exit velocity of 76 mph off the tee. In the infield he uses fluid footwork before funneling the ball deep into the middle of his body. From a 3/4 slot he threw across the infield with 70 mph arm strength. Ran a 4.77 from home to first. On the mound he uses a high, controlled leg lift to create good direction to home plate. Has three pitches in his arsenal with his fastball sitting 72-75 mph. Curveball has an 11/5 shape with gradual break and he also mixed in a changeup near fastball armspeed at 64-66 mph.
