Scouting Report
9/17/17 PBR Fall Championships: The 2B for Team Indiana continued his assault on pitchers Saturday, using his short, compact swing to collect a couple more hits. He controls the barrel and the ball jumps off his bat. He went 3-for-6 on the day with a triple and is now 6-for-9 on the weekend.
SCOUT BLOG: The 5'11" junior and Louisville commit impressed on the diamond with clean defensive actions and a big bat. The Cathedral shortstop displayed smooth, fluid actions at shortstop with soft hands and good glove action to field the baseball with one hand. Arm strength and carry across the diamond from deep in hole, works well laterally up the middle as well. Projects as second baseman or third baseman at the next level, bat will play. Big bat in the order from the right side, slightly open, solid base to start. Smooth hand load and separation to start swing into launch. Upper body and barrel get good tilt to create whip through the hitting zone. Back elbow and knee stay connected throughout to contact. Big bat speed with pull side pop. Has power gap-to-gap, with good plate coverage. Crushed bases clearing double to centerfield to take lead in sectional championship. Ranked #4 prospect in 2018 class with advanced tools.

The plate is where he excels. An athletic setup with a smooth load. Fast hands allow him to barrel up balls consistently with pull side power that is surprising for his age. Swing can get long at times. 4.3-4.4 runner down the line.
5/12/15 GAME NOTES: 5'11 175lb freshman projects to play either MIF position and bat works. Average to strong for age should continue to get stronger and more athletic.
