2/11/18 - 60 Time: 7.45, Position Velocity: IF-88, Exit Velocity: 87 6-foot, 157 pound RHH. Lanky frame, long limbs, plenty of projection. Posted a personal best infield velocity. Appears to be a front half 60 runner for now as 4.45 home to first time he posted at indoor event in January would suggest. Gets close to occasional arm bar in load which creates some length in swing but ball really jumps off the barrel when everything is synced up. Projectable power which should play up as he continues to get stronger. Shows athletic defensive actions with soft hands. Has ability to throw on the move with good body control. Plus arm strength. Projects to stay on the left side of the infield. Definite high follow in the 2020 class.
