Body Type: 6-foot 138-pound prospect.
Swing Mechanics: Starts in a crouched stance and uses a toe tap load. Casts his barrel a bit and has a somewhat long swing with a flat path to the ball.
Hit: Good bat to ball ability.
Power: 71 mph exit velocity. Offensive Projection: How he develops physically will be the most important aspect of his development, along with working on keeping his barrel through the zone better and having his bat path be more on plane with the pitch.
Field: At 1B he shows decent feet and feel around the bag. Slow release on his throws.
Throw: 71 mph across the diamond.
Run: 5.12 home to first.
Defensive Projection: Potentially could be a 1B if his bat could carry him there.
