6-foot-1, 200-pound, solid, strong, durable athletic frame, put together well, with strength throughout. A right-handed hitting corner infielder, shows above average hands on the catch, feet work with easy effort. The arm shows plus strength across the diamond. Plenty of carry and flight, clocked at 85 mph. At the plate, sits in a small crouch, wider setup, relaxed hands at the shoulders. The lower half is under control, gains ground, hands are back on foot strike, and looks to spray the ball from gap to gap. The barrel is in the zone a long time, is behind the baseball on contact. Simple approach, looks to have enough juice to get the baseball to deep into the gaps. Look for him to be a doubles guy at the next level. Runs well for a bigger player, clocked at 7.01.
