Scouting Report

6/15/21

 

Physical: Strong/athletic 5-foot-10, 170lb frame with smooth actions. 7.15 runner in the 60-yard dash. 

Offensively: RHH - Balanced, even stance from a slightly bent operation as the hands showed control flat at the shoulder. Utilized a short lift and replace stride unleashing the bat head through a flat, rotational path with lots of intent at the front of the plate. Hit behind the ball well with good ground power in the swing, hitting into a stiff/adjustable front side. Notched a T94 mph bat-exit velocity via Trackman, working up to a near 300 foot batted ball distance at his peak (doubles power). Top of the order consideration with ability to hit for extra-bases on the inner half. 

Defensively: The primary middle infielder featured a hop in the prep step, gaining ground on the baseball with attacking footwork that glided across the diamond. Presented the glove hand softly, low to the ground showing clean funnels inward, holding pace and releasing from H ¾ accurately at 76 mph to the target. Able to hold down a second base position with rangy movements to either side and hard-working traits.
