5/20/18 - 5-foot-10, 145-pound frame. Two-way prospect still appears to have highest ceiling on mound, but has made athletic improvements, lower 60 time to 7.68. Sat 73-76 mph on the mound, touching 77 from ¾ arm slot with some effort. 11-5 curveball showed consistent, tight rotation with some depth at 64-68 mph and 64-66 mph changeup showed tumbling action. Tends to fall down mound with low front side, getting very little out of his lower half. Uses knee-knock trigger in the box. Could work to stay on pane longer through the baseball to make more consistent solid contact; 72 mph exit velocity. Posted 77 and 72 mph outfield and infield velocities respectively; defensive actions may profile best to third base.

12/27/17 - 5-foot-10, 145-pound frame. Young body will look a lot different as a senior. Two-way prospect showed best on the mound where he worked 75-76, T77 with his fastball showing occasional run to the arm side. Head racing forward, combined with a low front side causes him to work uphill at times. Will improve plane and consistency as he learns to keep his head back over the rubber longer. Best pitch was a 66-68 mph curveball with tight rotation and late 11/5 break. Also mixed in a developing 70-71 mph changeup that flashed late fading action and could develop into a very strong third pitch. Offensively hits from a wide setup with a big reverse toe-tap load. Very short swing around his body; 66 mph exit velocity. On the infield shows a quick release from a lower slot with 73 mph velo. Also worked out in the outfield where he tended to throw uphill and posted 75 mph velo. 7.93 60-yard dash.
