Scouting Report
Long, lanky frame with projection ahead at 6-foot-1, 150-pounds. Loose, quick hands with feel for the barrel. Balanced swing with a flat barrel path through the zone. Peak exit velocity at 80 mph, average EV at 74.5 mph. Squared a ball up to left center in game action for a base hit. Athletic actions on the infield.
Lean, athletic frame that is easy to project for in the coming years. Will definitely handle strength and weight with some ease. Tall with a long arm swing to an over-the-top slot. Some uphill leverage out of balance through the shoulders. Fastball peaked at 80, 2129rpm with some ride and run. Better feel for the glove side.
