6-foot-1, 215-pound right-handed hitting corner infielder and catcher. Ran a 4.51 down the line on his dig to first base. The glove is solid at third, moves well, throwing 80 mph across the diamond with accuracy. The catching is solid, presentation and receiving has improved as he continues to soften the glove. The throwing is solid, threw 77 mph down to second base during the  defensive. Portion of the workout. Pop time is 2.03, simple throwing path. The bat has a tee exit velocity of 91 mph, as the hands are fast and strong. The set up is even in base, and the bottom half is under control. The path is simple the ball, cuts off the finish at times. Played in the event with a bruised bicep.

At third base, the glove is solid and he moves well to the ball. Threw 85 mph across the diamond with accuracy. The bat has life to it, tee exit velocity of 93 mph. The set up is even with his feet, and hands set low. The path is clean, flat to the ball, long at times. The  bottom half of the swing is under control, and he stays in position to hit. Uses a 1-handed finish after contact. The hand speed is excellent

6-foot-1, 200 pound right-handed hitting third baseman and pitcher. Very good positional prospect in my opinion. The glove and ability to move at third are present, shows plenty of arm strength across the diamond. Threw 81 mph across the diamond with ease and accuracy. Ran a 4.60 down the line on his dig to first base. The bat has plus life to it, and he can buggy whip the barrel. Tee exit velocity of 87 mph. The set up is wide with his feet, uses a knee to knee timing mechanism on the bottom half. Displayed a 1-handed approach to finish, strong bat and hands. Bat has value. On the mound, pitches out of a plus ¾ slot. The delivery is rotation and he works away from the plate. Needs to stay direct to the plate. Arm works and he has good strength to the arm. Fastball touched 78 mph with arm side run. The spin pitch sat at 65 mph, as it needs more fastball hand speed. Solid prospect with the bat.

6-foot, 185-pound, average strong athletic frame, hands and wrists have strength to them. One of the better players at this event, performed well in all three areas. A right-handed hitter, the stance is balanced throughout, feet are even and hands are loose and start just at shoulder height. The swing is short and quick to the ball, level through the zone, finishes at shoulder height, baseball jumps off the bat. The approach is simple, hits the ball where it's pitched. Took two solid rounds of BP. Defensively, worked out at third base, prep steps are good, gets around the baseball with momentum moving towards his target, works from the ground up, transfer is short and quick, moves extremely well to glove side starting the double play. The arm is short and shows to have above average carry across the diamond for his age, clocked at 80 mph. The promove was made with ease, got around the baseball, real good flow. Off the mound, works out of the set position the entire time. The delivery is simple, hands start and stay at the chest, leg raise has average height, lead leg in inline to target. The front arm is firm, with minimal pull keeping everything on target. The arm works out of a ¾ slot, fastball was clocked at 77-80 mph, comes out of his hand well, located it down in the zone to both sides of the plate. The change up has feel to it, thrown for strikes at 73 mph. The breaking ball was clocked at 62-64 mph, needs to be thrown harder. Times to plate were 1.66. Projects for me more as a third baseman, high follow, get out and see him.

Home - First: 4.34

Exit Velocity: 94 mph

Arm Velocity: 80 mph

Excellent looking prospect who worked out at third base and then jumped on the mound. Showed an advanced skill set for his age. Defensively, showed a solid glove at third base, the foot speed to get off the ball and plenty of arm strength across the diamond, threw 80 mph to first base. Ran a 4.57 down the line on a dig to first base. At the plate, has a tee exit velocity of 80 mph. Sets up with even feet, the hands are extremely quick to the ball. Cuts the finish off as he makes contact and could flatten the bat path as he matures. On the mound, shows a ton of promise for his age. The fastball had arm side run to it, and touched 78 mph. The breaking ball has the right shape, touched 66 mph. The changeup is a work in progress, sitting 70-72 mph. The delivery is athletic, with a small bounce to the lift, as he pitches out of a long arm path. The slot is ¾ and his front side direction and maintenance of the glove needs to be cleaned up. Big time follow for me. 1.35 to the plate from the stretch.
