Scouting Report

11/18/18 Broad shouldered, high-waisted frame that projects to add even more strength in the next year at 6-foot-5, 215-pounds. The left-handed hitter starts from a tall, stacked setup with relaxed hands, then loads up as he triggers his hands and tips the barrel forward, and taking a short stride. Hands work through the zone with looseness, creating lag in the barrel to go with lift through the zone, to create a top exit velocity of 86 mph. Defensively worked through balls athletically with deliberate footwork. Clean, quick exchanges into a short arm action and high-¾ release that produced a 82 mph positional velocity. Behind plate, high in setup, throws from a short, over the top arm slot with a relaxed gather that provided for accurate throws with pop times ranging from 1.95-2.00 and a top velocity from the crouch of 78 mph. Ran a 7.33 60-yard dash.
