Scouting Report
2/8/20 - PBR Winter Update at Mike Murphy Baseball (Hitting) - Lanky projectable body (6-foot-0, 170), LHH with plenty of offensive upside. Presently displays bat speed and some strength that will obviously increase as he physically matures and develops. Swing has consistent attack angle, showed ability to routinely find the barrel. The 85 mph EV is impressive given that he's at the beginning of his freshman year.
