Scouting Report
11/19/16 6-foot, 165-pound eighth grader has a projectable frame and showcased lots of fast twitch actions on the day (6.75 60-yard dash). The right-handed hitter starts from a slightly open stance and creates solid barrel whip (80 mph) with a short, heel-raise stride and an aggressive hip turn. Although he has some length to his swing signs of future power to the pull side are evident. The underclassman displayed a developing skill set defensively with accurate 77 mph arm strength from the outfield.
