Scouting Report
Physical: Athletic, compact 5-foot-10, 170lb frame with some strength found in the actions. 6.82 runner in the 60-yard dash.
Offensively: RHH - Balanced, shoulder-width start with quiet hands in the stance at a loose position. Utilized a short leg lift stride initiating the bat head through an explosive, connected slightly uphill path into the hitting zone. Impressive barrel awareness with good posture in the legs, driving the ball for extra-bases to the LCF gap using leverage in the approach. Worked his way up to a T91 mph bat-exit velocity featuring fluid movements that carried over to game action. A 44% line drive rate via Trackman points to the ability to hit for AVG down the line.
Defensively: The primary backstop showcased a strong, traditional stance on the receive with a soft glove hand operating with subtle gestures on either corner. Pop times got down into the 1.95-2.00 range with low posture and immediate straight line footwork to the second base bag, getting the back foot in the ground quickly. Released from a high ¾ accurate slot (74 mph arm) and flashed trusted blocking skills on pitches with down angles.

Hit: RHH. Hits from a balanced, squared, slightly crouched stance at the plate. Slight bat wiggle with a smooth, rhythmic toe-tap back load. Stays behind the ball well with quick hands through the zone. Gets solid extension through contact with some lower half involvement. Slightly uphill swing path with a strong one handed finish. Worked mostly middle to pull side with a solid line drive approach during BP.
Power: 84 mph exit velocity per TrackMan during BP.
Arm: RH. C - 73 mph. Throws with shorter arm action from a mid to high three-quarter slot.
Defense: Pop times ranged 2.01 - 2.19. Quick feet, active feet with momentum towards the throw to second base. Replaces feet well with clean exchanges and accurate throws that showed some carry.
Run: 7.57 60-yard time.
Delivery: Controlled side-step wind-up and leg kick to a tall balance position. Drop and drive style delivery with a long sweeping kick-out stride down the mound and exaggerated uphill shoulder tilt. Gets over the front side with extension through release landing in-line with the plate. Strong lower half drive and long, complete follow through falling slightly off to the first base side in finish.
Arm Action: RH. Creates quick arm speed through release throwing with long arm action from a height three-quarter slot with some intent.
FB: T77 mph, 74-77 mph. Arm-side run present with an average spin rate of 1867 rpm per TrackMan.
