One of the tip flight 2020 grads in the state; soft hands; athletic actions up the middle with above average glove side range. Easy effort stroke in the box with line drive results; gap potential.

6-foot-1 175 pound left side infielder. Spread setup at the plate; repeats timing. Has shown ability to drive the pull side gap. Serviceable at SS but may fit the 3B profile at the next level.

Strong, athletic frame at 6-foot-1 175 pounds. Has shown some pop from the left side of the dish; sweeping swing path that repeats. Active, athletic approach at SS with more of 2B snap release. Should be able to handle 2B/SS/3B and possibly a corner outfield spot if need be.
