Scouting Report
11.5.17: Athletic physical frame at 5-foot-11, 180-pounds. Ran a 6.69 60-yard dash on damp track. Hits from an open set up with high hands above the shoulder. Short load with leg lift squaring up to baseball. Gets into backside and gets nice hip explosion through contact. Hands are short, simple, and quick to the ball that free up as they extend through contact. Did get long at times during BP, getting around the ball, but showed fast bat speed and power potential at the plate. Exit velo of 94 mph. Active feet in the outfield with sound hands to exchange with a short arm action. Worked thru ball well with throws up to 85 mph. Solid footwork and clean exchange from behind the plate. Smooth throughout, though could quicken his feet on pops. Pop time as low as 2.02. Sound receiving skills sticking ball well, though can get stiff at times. Average sway side to side, does have some room for improvement, his natural athleticism should help that continue to improve. Very interesting prospect in the 2020 class who could turn into a special player.
