A 6-foot, 170-pound catcher and outfielder with a lean, athletic frame. Outstanding defender with soft hands, fluid footwork, and arm strength in the outfield. As a catcher showed solid receiving skills with a clean, quick exchange and excellent footwork that resulted in a pop time of 2.00 seconds and a positional velocity of 73 mph. Right-handed hitter with a balanced setup, slight wrap in the load, short stride, and solid balance. Shows an uphill bat path with solid bat speed, and a line-drive, gap to gap approach that produced an 84 mph exit velocity.
