6-foot-1, 185-pound right hand hitting RHP/SS.  At the plate he stands balanced and narrow.  He uses a slow load and a long stride on the pitch.  Weight drives hard through the zone.  Swing path is slightly uphill with good extension after contact.  He shows quick hands on the swing and exit velocity is 85 MPH.  Swing is simple but the ball jumps off his bat.  In the field he shows good instincts and athletic actions.  He has soft hands and a quick transfer to his throwing hand.  He delivers from a high ¾ arm slot with accuracy.  Arm velocity was 80 MPH.  On the mound he is mechanically sound, after balance he sinks and drives hard to the plate.  Landing is in-line with the plate with good extension out front on the pitch.  Arm slot is high ¾ and he does a nice job of keeping his arm speed consistent on all of his pitches.  Fastball was 86 MPH with good location down and on the inner half.  He also showcased a 73 MPH curve with sharp 11/5 break and finished his showcase with a 74 MPH change with late sink.
