The youngest player at the event did a very nice job of holding his own vs. the older players. Showed an even stance at the plate with a solid, level plane with the bat path. Does a nice job of using his lower half and really showed some top hand strength through the hitting zone. At 3B, the glove played well out in front of him and he did a nice job of keeping his momentum moving with his throws across the IF. Played the backhand very well and showed the ability to get rid of the ball very quickly. Solid IF actions from the ‘26 grad. On the mound, he did a nice job of staying balanced and really used his core strength and lower half. Spotted the FB to both sides of the plate very well and showed feel for a true breaking ball with depth, burying it in the bottom half of the zone. Solid fundamentals and will continue to develop as the years progress
