Arm Action: RH. Long arm action with a 3/4 release.
FB: T84, 82-84 mph. Arm-side run with some late life. T1836, 1742 average rpm.
CB: 64-66 mph. Near "12-6" shape with above average spin, missed to arm-side some. T2445, 2407 average rpm.
SL: 68-70 mph. Landed for strikes, short lateral break with little depth, good feel for SL. T2271, 2224 average rpm.
Positional Profile: 3B/1B A good follow in the state's 2025 class.
Body: 6-3, 180-pounds. Projectable, tall, and lean.
Hit: RHH. Tall and narrow stance with hands at shoulder height, glides out with front foot during load and stride. Hands work down to the ball and then stay flat through extension with a one-handed finish, shoulders rotate off the ball some, flashed some bat speed with some pop to the pull-side. 67.4 mph bat speed with 5 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 93 max exit velocity, averaged 85.2 mph. 299' max distance.
Arm: RH. INF-87 mph. Short/quick arm action with a 3/4 release.
Defense: Took minimal movements to receive the ball off the middle of his body with two hands out front, moved pretty good laterally, strong arm across the diamond.
