Body Type: 5-foot-7 145-pound prospect with a smaller frame.
Swing Mechanics: Starts in a medium, crouched set up. Doesn’t have much of a load or weight shift during the swing. Shows relatively quick hands and is very short to the ball.

Hit: Decent bat to ball ability.

Power: 78 mph exit velocity.

Offensive Projection: Presently projects as more a of line drive singles guy at the high school level. Raw physical strength could help up that projection.

Run: 4.61 home to 1st.

Throw: 70 mph from the outfield.

Field: Plays through the ball well in the outfield with average footwork. Could improve the quickness of his release.

Defensive Projection: Present speed and raw arm strength would limit him to LF at the next level.

On the infield plays light of his feet bouncing around and working efficiently to the baseball. Shows confidence in the glove upon fielding baseball. Throws come from a ¾ slot after a clean transfer. As an outfielder smooth with all of his actions. Created his own hop multiple times while being aggressive upon recognition. Lower slot than most in the outfield while reaching a top velocity of 70 mph from near low ¾. Switch hitter at the plate. From the left he starts in a balanced setup using a simple loading sequence. Balanced launch into a slightly downhill swing. Stroke is compact with contact jump off the barrel. Swing offers balanced combination of strength and speed through the zone. Pull side tendencies from the lefts. Looks more natural from the right. Similar movements prior to launch but shows a much more aggressive stroke with louder natural tools. Ball jumps off the barrel generating gap abilities.
60-yard dash: 7.02
Outfield Velocity: 70
Exit Velocity: 80

A 5-foot-6, 130-pound prospect. A switch hitter with a simple approach at the plate. Very little load before launch. A top of the lineup bat with a compact swing. Showed feel for the barrel with developing natural tools. Consistently produced hard contact on the ground, flashing line drive capabilities. Looks more advanced from the right side. Swings with more intent and natural tools show more in swing. In the outfield he plays under control, showing smooth actions. Does a nice job of picking his hop and attacking it. Ball skills are above average. Arm slot is lower than ideal for the position and arm strength is developing. In the infield he uses quick, direct pre-fielding footwork. Hands are soft and he showed confidence in his glove. Second baseman type. Infield over outfield at this stage.
