5-foot-11, 169-pound prospect. Uses long arm action while reaching a top velocity of 72 mph from infield and 77 mph from the outfield. Shows a hitch in his arm action. His feet work well in the infield. In the outfield, he tends to open early with his throws, which creates some accuracy issues. At the plate, he starts in a slight crouch. Loads heavy on his backside and creates a tendency to lunge. Hands tend to drift away from the body. Shows some strength in his hands (87 mph exit velocity). Should show better production with improvements to his balance. On the mound, his fastball sat 69-70 mph while his curveball showed some spin at 58-60 mph and his changeup stayed straight at 61-63 mph.
