Scouting Report
9/24/17 - Home-1st: 4.50, Position Velocity: 77, Exit Velocity: 87
5-foot-11, 165-pound, RHH w/ barrel feel and SS tools. Medium, athletic frame w/ lean strength. Righty hits from a straight on, upright stance w/ back shoulder hand location and some hand rhythm. Toe tap and proper load. Barrel feel, line drive machine in BP w/ pull HR power (just missed HR in game). Quality at bats w/ barrel in zone for long time. All fields approach. Advanced hitter w/ strong offensive tools. Defensively, shows soft hands, easy movements and range to both sides. True SS made a number of difficult plays look easy. One of the top uncommitted middle infielders in the 2019 class.
9/10/17 - 5-11, 165-pound middle infielder. Delivered one of two extra base hits by the Royals Scout Team against elite pitching, hitting a double down the left field line. Righty hitter hits from a straight on, upright stance w/ low back shoulder hand location. Moves hands to high back ear hand location as pitcher is in windup. Stride and proper load. Above avg bat speed in repeatable swing. Gap to gap type hitter. DNS enough defensively for an eval. Very intriguing uncommitted 2019 bat.
