Quick Hit
"6-foot-2 and 190-pounds, big frame from the 2022 graduate. Makes consistent contact, has some pop to pull side gap, and mainly works a pull side approach. Would like to see more of an athletic stance in the box and more usage of his lower half, I feel like that will give him more power. Active feet around the bag, firm glove work, ability to play laterally, smooth transfer. Three pitch and throws all for strikes. Looks comfortable on the mound."
