He found lots of barrels with loud contact. Aggressive line drive approach. While catching, throw downs to second were maxed at 76 mph; has a quick clean transfer, and quick athletic footwork. had consistent pop times of 2.03-2.14. Above average flexibility and flexible twitchy setup. Using a compact quick arm action, showed decent accuracy to the base from an-over-the-top slot. Recorded a 60 time of 7.37 at the event.
VA/DC Scout Blog
Solid compact frame with a strong lower half. Played right field for Cosby. Average defender and is going to make the plays that he is supposed to make. Arm strength is average/above average for his age/class. Throws are low and on a line. At the plate he is has some physicality to the swing and pull side tendency. Wider base and hands make a direct load late. Level path with a slightly uphill finish to the swing. Long term question will be where does he fit positionally, right now corner outfield/catcher, because the bat and power production will play.
VA/DC PreSeason All-State Central
