5-foot-11, 165-pound right-handed pitcher and right-handed hitting middle infielder. He put forth a great showing at the event s he is a talented player. On the mound, the fastball touched 82 mph with arm side action to it. The command of the fastball was solid. The spin pitch is solid in shape, sitting 68-69 mph. The depth to the pitch is good and he showed the ability to throw it for strikes. The changeup was 72-74 mph with fade and sink to it. The delivery is online with the feet and the slot is above 3/4. The lift is athletic and repeated. The tracking of the front shoulder can stay online longer to aid extension. Positionally, the approach in the infield is aggressive and athletic. The glove is reliable and he threw 78 mph during the infield portion of the workout. The bat has an exit velocity of 86 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 needs to be flattened as he gets up and over the baseball. 

Exit Velocity- 86 mph

INF Velocity - 78 mph

5-foot-11, 165-pound right-handed pitcher and right-handed hitting middle infielder. He ran a 7.56 sixty at the event. The approach in the infield is athletic, clean and active through the process of fielding the baseball. He threw 73 mph across the diamond during the defensive portion of the workout. The bat has an exit velocity of 80 mph. The setup is even in base and the front foot steps into the swing. The bat has a small amount of wrap to start, as he produced a long and flat path to contact. Physical strength gains are warranted as he matures in age. On the mound, the fastball sat 78-80 mph with arm side action. The spin pitch was 60-62 mph and big in shape. The changeup is still a developing pitch for him. The delivery has minimal crossfire to the feet and the slot is above 3/4 in height. The tempo is solid, coil at the top of his left and he repeats the action. The glove does have minimal pull across the hitters face as that takes him offline with his target. 

Exit Velocity- 80 mph

INF Velocity- 73 mph
