Transferred to St. Johns River State (FL)

10/19/15- Committed to University of Kentucky

6/23/15 - 6-foot2, 150 pound middle infielder with a tall loose lean projectable young body. Very young body with a lot of upside. Loose  easy actions in the field with soft hands and good instincts. Sound mechanics with good body control. Light on his feet. Lacks ideal foot speed but makes up for it with good first step quickness and baseball instincts. Has enough arm to play on left side of infield. Has aggressive approach at the plate with a loose quick bat. Has good hand eye with a good bat path. Makes a lot of hard contact. Lacks strength right now but ball still jumps off his bat. Very projectable bat. Good hitting instincts. Will be fun to watch when his body starts filling out. Is also interesting behind the dish. Is a bit crude but certainly has the tools and the make up and the baseball instincts to become a catcher. I don’t think he has to yet because he’s a very good infielder. However, that makes him a bit more valuable knowing that it’s a possibility. Ran a 7.47 60. 86 mph exit bat speed velocity. 80 mph infield velocity. 2.0 pop time with 74 mph catchers velocity. Excellent academic kid with top of the chart grades.

3/6/15 - 6-foot-2, 150 pound infielder with a tall loose lean projectable body. Good actions in infield with some softness in hands. Avg ML arm with decent carry. Plays with energy. Grinder type make up. Loose bat with quickness in hands. Will continue to improve with added strength. Good hand eye with a good path. Bat stays through zone. Avg type bat speed that will continue to improve. Power will come. Will be able to play all infield positions in college. Also catches. Went 3-4 with 3 hard hit balls off of a good arm.
