08.19.17 Lanky build in a young frame at 5-foot-11, 140 pounds. Right handed hitter works from a balanced athletic position, loading back and using a short stride. Coils the front shoulder on the load creating some length in the swing. Swing will become shorter as the long levers come under control and strength is added. Average bat speed, tilted uphill at times, but working to stay level. Fluid and loose, stays in the middle of the field with some barrel awareness. Exit velocity peaked at 78. Projection exists. Behind the dish, works to a vertical position as he transitions to the throwing area with a short arm action. Controlled and easy through the transition. Arm worked up to 69 mph from the crouch with some accuracy and the ball fading to arm side. Pop times ranged 2.25-2.45. Average target and setup. Some effort in the hands in receiving that should clean with added strength to the young frame.
On the mound, works from a high-3/4 slot with a long, loose arm swing. Fastball ranged 73-75, occasionally cutting. Change-up has deception with the arm speed. Occasional fade at 67-70. Also throws a split-finger at 68-72. Acts as a change, lacking defined rotation or action. Breaking ball works with gradual 11/5 action at 62-66. Some effort in the delivery, working for extension. The shoulders work level and the foot strikes on-line.
