Scouting Report
Physical: Athletic, proportional 5-foot-11, 155lb frame. 7.71 runner in the 60-yard dash.
Offensively: LHH - Tall, upright stance as the barrel rested just above the shoulder to start. Utilized a leg-hang stride to initiate a fluid, clean swing through a slightly uphill path into the zone. Hit behind the ball extremely well, promoting a lofty approach through the middle of the field (67% fly ball rate via Trackman). Generated a high two-handed finish with obvious direction at the plate, staying on pitches thrown outer half for flush contact to the opposite field gap. Recorded a T86 mph bat-exit velocity for doubles power up to 304 foot distance at his peak.
Defensively: The primary backstop featured a soft, down to up receive from LKD as the glove hand elbow worked as a lever. Pop times ranged from 2.12-2.28 with quick-shifting hips to straight line to the target. Finished upright at the finish at the front of the plate, finishing throws over the front-side from H ¾ slot (73 mph arm). Slid over to shortstop with positional flexibility as he controlled pace out in front, fielding off the middle of his body. Simple transition to throwing ear and ability to make accurate plays on the run with fast hands (T79 mph arm).
