6-foot 165 pounds, athletic build. Have seen size and strength added over the the last year or so. (Running) 7.18 runner in the 60. (Offense) RH. Max EV 96. Max Dist. 282. Base outside of shoulder width, hands held lower with a vertical bat angle. Slight bend in the knees and slightly bowed out. Small up and down stride, almost no stride, stays grounded well with little head/body movement. Bat tip load that raises the back elbow some. Very simple approach, good spot for success. Very consistent with line drive contact. Best contact was to the middle. Fights to get to the ball on the inner half, early barrel turn. Controlled and mature BP rounds. (Defense) (OF) RH. OF velo 85. Controlled actions in the OF, approaches the ball well with clean glove. Very clean arm, arguably the top arm action from the OF at the event. Ball has plus carry, throws were kept low and accurate. Should see OF velo in the 90s with added strength and maturity.
Game action: 1-2 2B, BB
