Scouting Report

6/15/20

 

Physical: 5-foot-10, 175-pound frame with a solid blend of athleticism and strength in the lower half. 6.85 runner in the 60-yard dash.

Offensively: RHH. Balanced, even stance in a slight crouch and a feel for rhythm in the hands. Setup starts at the shoulder with the hands and moves slightly back to launch point for the timing mechanism along with a repeatable lift-and-replace stride. The swing is short and direct to the ball, working on a slightly uphill barrel path through the point of contact towards a deep and low finish. Wore out the LCF gap with hard, consistent barrels, the lower half drive allowed for advanced pop on occasion. 90 MPH exit velocity during batting practice per Trackman.

Defensively: Works short and quick in the field with comfortability in making decisions on routes. Stays low on the approach, fields the ball in the middle of his body and plays behind the ball with regularity allowing for a powerful lower half to create some arm speed. Moderate takeaway on the arm action and long out in front of a high 3/4 arm slot. OF - accurate 80 MPH.
