5-foot-10, 175-pound right-handed hitting middle infielder. I think he is an excellent player after seeing him play twice. The foot speed is good, he has versatility to his defense and he can really swing the bat. He ran a 7.06 sixty at the event. The approach in the infield is athletic and online, the feet can a stay more active through the fielding process. He can also eliminate the double tapping of the ball once it leaves the glove. He threw 76 mph across the infield during the defensive portion of the workout. The bat has an exit velocity of  90 mph. The setup is wide in base and the front foot steps into the swing as the ball approaches the hitting zone. The hands work clean and simple through the baseball. He shows solid contact very often in game. He is a Division 1 prospect for me.
