6-foot-1, 185 pounds. Bats and throws right. Hands start high an back. Has a nice compact swing and goes to the opposite field well. Was explosive on contact. Gap to gap hitter.

Square to the plate on delivery from same arm slot. Could use legs a litte more to generate more. Doesn't always come to a full balance point, but big frame and strong legs show potential. Fastball sat at 75-77 mph with a 65 mph change. Was name most raw 2017 talent at the event.
