6-foot, 165-pound strong, athletic build. At the plate he starts in a balanced setup from the right side. Uses a rhythmic load where he takes his hands slightly back during his small leg kick. Bat had some quickness to it and he was able to produce consistent line drives in batting practice. Exit velocity was 81 mph. In the infield he moved well to his glove side and did a good job of gaining ground to fist base after fielding the ball. From a 3/4 slot he threw with loose arm action and 74 mph arm strength across the diamond. Ran a 7.34 60-yard dash. On the mound he goes with a slower tempo and showed good direction to home plate. Arm had looseness to it from a 3/4 slot. Fastball sat 75-78 mph and should continue to increase once he learns to use his legs more efficiently. His best offspeed pitch was his sharp, curveball that had good depth and a 10/4 shape at 63-64 mph. Was able to keep fastball armspeed on his 72-74 mph changeup.
