Scouting Report
Interesting two-way prospect is currently one of the top 2023 prospects in the state. 5-foot-9, 175 pound athletic frame. Uses long arm swing. High 3/4 slot. Generates easy velocity. Fastball mostly straight at 80-82 mph. Shows feel for 68-70 mph curveball with 1/7 action, good spin and depth, slider shows same velocity with slightly sharper break. 70-71 mph changeup thrown with good arm speed. Definitely a LHP to keep a close eye on in the 2023 class.
At the plate, slightly open stance with leg kick trigger. Fairly compact swing. Works the middle of the field. Flashes occasoinal gap power for age. 81 mph exit velocity off the tee. Ran 7.58 60-yard dash. Moves well around the first base bag with soft hands. Accurate throws. 77 mph across the diamond, 82 mph from OF. Works through the ball well as an OF providing some position versatility as a corner OF.
