A projectable well-built frame at 6-foot-2, 185 pounds. Ran a 7.24 in the 60 yard dash. Offensively- the right handed hitter stands in the box with feet shoulder width apart and a slight bend in the knees. Keeps hands loose away from the body. Quick direct path to the baseball. Hard consistent contact during the hitting portion. Gets good use of the the lower half. Full extension after the point of contact. Stays balanced throughout the swing. Top exit velocity was 81 MPH. Defensively- the outfielder displayed active defensive actions during the OF portion. Smooth funnel action with a quick transition and release on throws to the plate. Top throwing velocity was 83 MPH. Pitching- the right handed pitcher displays a live projectable arm. Shows a balanced repeatable delivery during the bullpen session. Drives from a balanced backside. FB is live and has a downward tilt. FB peaked at 83 MPH. CB is sharp and late break down in the zone. Above average strikeout pitch. CB ranged from 66-70 MPH and feel for a CH 76-78 MPH. The 2021 graduate is a must follow going forward.
