Positional Profile: 3B/1B
Physical: 6-0, 190-pounds; 4.13 30-yard, 23.9” max jump height; Broad body type, strength in lower half, frame to continue to add and hold size and strength.
Offensively: LH. EV max – 89.2 mph, hand speed max – 21.8 mph, bat speed max – 67.1 mph; Presents as hitter-ish in set-up, feet even just outside shoulder width with toes pinched and back knee engaged early, hands just above shoulder with early barrel tilt and high back elbow, sinks into backside early, rhythmic mechanics with some continuous movement, small load from with slight lowering of hands into slot, medium knee lift out to stride, there is physicality in the swing, flatter plane with consistent contact out front, full two hand finish, able to spray gap to gap, tends to roll energy outside stride foot. Would not be surprised to see power production in his future.
Defensively: 3B – 78 mph; Slight hop move into prep, calm somewhat cautious actions to ball, created clean angles to get off throws in-line to target on the various plays, comfortable to the backhand and forehand when he could keep in continuous motion vs the ball right at him. Profiles at infield corner where it will be all about how the bat plays.

Power: 80 mph EV off tee
Arm: 3B velo - 68 mph (R) - Short arm action that fits for 3rd base, can learn to create more power for his arm starting from his feet/legs, the raw arm strength will have to go up to stay at 3B
