8/6/17 A two-way prospect. A physical, projectable frame with room to add. Tempo is slower as he moves into his chest high leg lift. Drop and drive type guy that lands slightly closed at foot strike. Arm works through a near over the top slot with above average arm speed. His upper 70s to low 80s fastball works downhill. The pitch gets on hitters quicker than velocity would indicate with his length and cross fire delivery. Looked most comfortable with his changeup in his secondary arsenal. Maintains arm speed and the offering has a fastball look out of the hand. Locates it well and the change shows some late dive. Also spins a breaking ball on a 1/7 plane. The pitch has some sharpness to it with big break. At the plate he is a lefty swinger that uses a double tap to get things going. Barrel launches from a vertical position with noticeable whip through the zone. Path is mostly level and barrel gets through contact well. Bat speed is above average and he has strength to his wrist. A middle of the lineup bat with easy gap pop. Frame fits the first base position. A very good athlete that has feel around the bag. Glove is well above average and transfer is very quick. Looks to be a talented defender at the spot. FB: 78-81 CB: 66-67 CH: 68-70 60-Yard Dash: 7.42 INF Velocity: 80 Exit Velocity: 83
