6-foot-2, 145 pound long lanky prospect has a great frame to project out. Wide shoulders, with long legs. At the plate has his weight on the back leg using motion to throw his hands through the ball. Was able to square up a few to the right center gap. Good athleticism around the 1B bag. On the mound is where he excels. Hiding the ball well he delvers from a high 3/4 arm angle. Fastball showed good natural movement 73-75 mph. 2/8 breaking curve with late action 60-63 mph and a deceptive change up 65-66 mph.
