6-foot, 175-pound left-handed hitting infielder. He ran a 6.99 sixty on the laser at the event. The approach is solid in the infield, the feet remain active through the fielding process. The arm is clean, throwing 85 mph across the diamond with accuracy. The bat has a chance to be special, exit velocity of 96 mph. The setup is even in base and he uses a pick up and put down of the front foot as the ball approaches the hitting zone. The path is flat to slightly uphill through contact with the baseball. The hands work freely and he swings an aggressive bat.

New England Procase

5-foot-11, 175-pound, average athletic frame. Put together well for a younger player, hands and wrists have strength to them. A left-handed hitting middle infielder, top tool is the ability to swing the bat. The approach is advanced, all fields approach with enough juice to go pull side. The stance is balanced, feet are even at the shoulders, hands are loose and relaxed, set above the shoulders. The path is level to up, hard contact to all fields, had a tee exit velocity of 83 mph and ran a 7.15 sixty-yard. Defensively, little wasted movement with quick feet in the transfer, threw 78 mph across the diamond, with average arm strength. The hands work, and can turn it from either side of the bag. Projects for me of an offensive second baseman at the higher levels.

Tee Exit Velocity: 83 mph

Arm Velocity: 78 mph

Sixty-Yard: 7.15
