Scouting Report
Strong frame at 6-foot-3, 215-pounds. Power to all fields and hit tools continue to stand out. Mature approach during batting practice with an easy, balanced swing. Laced a ball to the right center gap for a double in his first at bat on day one. Homered on day two with an impressive line drive shot deep over the wall just left of center field. Stays calm in the box with an advanced approach. Arm is accurate with some carry from the outfield.
09.22.18
Known commodity without having played a high school game yet. Has received exposure on the summer circuit and in his stint with the 15 Team USA this past summer. Athletic and lanky, definitely looks the part of a player with a high ceiling. Stands 6-foot-2, 195 pounds with a lot of maturation still ahead. Left handed hitter has juice in the box, driving balls to both gaps in BP and peppering the scoreboard in the oppo gap with wood during his second round of BP. Tall with a leg kick to load his weight. Flat bat head works to a lagged position at his launch. Advanced quickness and bat speed translated into the baseball rocketing off the barrel. Occasionally the top hand took over creating some top spin and rollover type swings. Shows patience in game, willing to work deeper in counts. More pull conscience with more rollover type passes in game situations. Athletic, with the potential to play 1B as well, the arm has advanced carry and accuracy from a clean exchange and release. 4.76 home to first time recorded in game.
