Scouting Report
1/20/19 - 5-foot-9, 150-pound right-handed hitter initiates from a square stance using a short lift-and-replace stride. Showed the ability to get on plane with the ball deep in the zone and has advanced feel of the barrel. Gets the most out of his body, as evidenced by his 82 mph bat exit velocity. Ran a 4.60 home-to-first time, but plays twitchy. Demonstrated repeatable, smooth movements to the baseball during defensive evaluations with above-average footwork allowing him to record throws of 73 mph across the infield.
Scouting Report: 5-foot-9, 145-pound wiry, projectable frame. From shortstop he has good athletic, active footwork approaching ground balls transitioning into his throws. Fields with his hands out in front of his body and offers a quick release, throwing with a clean, short arm action reaching a top velocity of 67 mph across the infield. Right-handed hitter starts from a slightly open stance getting himself squared back up to even before he swings. Hands stay mostly quiet with minimal load and swings with a level bat path through the zone. Showed the ability to use the whole field during his round of batting practice. Recorded a top exit velocity of 74 mph and ran a 7.07 60-yard dash.
Defensively, Hands are adequate and feet work well in playing through the ball and following throws. Benefit would be gained from greater commitment to working bottom up.
