Changeup: 75-76 mph. Maintains arm speed on the offering that has a fastball look out of the hand.

A righty swinger that starts in a wider setup. Uses a short stride for timing. Hands move slightly back prior to swing decision. Path has some natural loft to it with above average bat speed. Strong kid with present gap pop. Has much more in there and would be aided by getting more out of his loading sequence. Natural tools point to him growing into a middle of the lineup bat. Starts in a mid crouch behind the plate. Does a nice job of gaining ground with his feet. Transfer skills are developing. Would see easy improvements in pop times by shortening arm action. In the infield he uses quick footwork and gets solid reactions off the bat. Glove works well inside his funnel. Ball skills are developing on the move. Arm action is shorter and he threw with accuracy. A two-way prospect. On the mound he throws with a quick rhythm to the plate. The right hander throws from a higher ¾ arm slot and keeps his body on a line to the plate. Arm action seems to be very natural although he finishes stiff. His fastball has some late life cut action.

At the plate he starts in a balanced setup prior to his leg lift load. Hands stay simple prior to launch. A back leg hitter that takes an uphill path to the baseball. Would like to see him transfer more energy into contact to level out path and let his well above average natural tools show in his swing. Was at his best when he worked the middle to opposite field. In the infield he uses direct, quick footwork. Glove skills are average at this stage. Would be aided by creating angles in his pre fielding footwork.
