Lean, high-waisted 5-foot-9, 145-pound frame. Right-handed hitting middle infielder that also worked out on the mound. Showed above-average foot speed early in his workout, running a 4.12 home-to-first time. Wide setup in the box, hands load back and synchronously with the lower half, toe-tap timing trigger to footstrike. Short bat path, occasionally hits off his front side. Steady actions up the middle, glove plays out front over body, quick hand transfer with a glove pack to release. Arm travels on a short arm path, finishes from an elevated ¾ arm angle. Hopped on the mound later in his workout. Quick side-step initiates a drop/drive type delivery, aggressive front hip turn into downhill ride, closed shoulders throughout, works in line to target. Long arm stroke with some poke in the back, finishes from a high ¾ slot. Fastball came out clean, sat 74-78 mph and flashed occasional arm-side action. Circle changeup thrown at 70-71 mph with gliding arm-side run and sink. Curveball showed above-average spin and depth at times, developing comfort for pitch, spun off an 11/5 plane at 62-64 mph.
