Solid body type and 6’7’’, 200 pound frame. Hits from a tall, relaxed, open stance at the plate. Creates some hand separation and uses a toe-tap load for rhythm and timing. Short, level swing path and quick bat speed. Generates some lower half involvement and recorded an 84 mph exit velocity. Showed a pull-side approach at the plate during BP squaring up several line drives. Also showed some power with more projected. Works through the ball at first and fields it out in front funneling to chest. Quick, clean exchanges to second base on double play feeds. Throws with long arm action from a high three-quarters slot at 80 mph. Ran a 7.96 60-yard time. Starts from the stretch with a controlled leg kick into a tall balance point. Clean hand separation and slight down-to-out lower half drive off the rubber. Lands square to the plate in an upright position. Throws with long, loose arm action from a high three-quarter slot with light effort. Struggled to find control but featured a decent three pitch mix. Fastball sat 81-83 mph and touched 85 mph. Breaking ball was 67-69 mph with hard 11/5 shape and change-up ranged 74-76 mph.
