Scouting Report
6/12/22
Physical: Twitchy, highly athletic 5-foot-10, 175lb frame. 6.68 runner in the 60-yard dash.
Offensively: LHH. Balanced, even stance just outside shoulder-width; hands start pre-set at the shoulder. Utilized a stretched lift and replace stride to initiate the swing through a flat, whippy path into the hitting zone. One-handed finish that allowed for a line drive approach during batting practice; T94 mph bat-exit velocity and XBH skillset.
Defensively: The outfielder showed off centerfield, middle of the diamond qualities with a smooth first step and ability to drop and go get balls in the gaps during gameplay. Fielded off his right side and delivered an accurate 86 mph arm-strength to the target.
2/13/22
Physical: Strong, athletic 5-foot-10, 175lb frame with more to come. 7.01 runner in the 60-yard dash.
Offensively: LHH - Even, simple setup with the hands operating calmly at the shoulder to begin. Utilized a toe-tap stride to initiate a bursty, high intent swing through a flat path into the hitting zone. Line-drive approach and worked towards a two-handed finish that gained extension on the ball as the barrel traveled through the zone for length. Recorded a 91 mph bat-exit velocity and profiles as a legitimate top of the order threat as he continues progressing.
Defensively: The primary outfielder will find a home in LF or CF with good reads off of the bat and an accurate glove hand off of his right side. Makes quick decisions with the internal clock and gets rid of the ball through a H ¾ slot (82 mph arm). Standout in multiple phases.
