5-foot-5, 140 pound right hander.  Short strider has aggression, attacking the zone with a feel for all three pitches.  Fastball ranged 76-78, downhill, with occasional arm side run.  Breaking ball has late action, working 68-70 with 12/6 tilt.  Flooded the zone with the pitch, showing deception with similar to fastball hand speed.  Straight change sat 70-71.  Over-the-top slot with quickness in the arm.  Some rhythm in the delivery that sets the shoulders uphill after working to stay tall at balance.  Foot strike is open to the line.

Infielder ran a 7.30 sixty, showing feel for the barrel from the right side.  Balanced and athletic, load can be rushed as the weight is pushed back.  Short stride works to better than average bat speed staying level through the zone.  Length in the swing at times.  Pull tendency.  Exit velocity peaked at 82 off the barrel.  Defensively, shows average to above hands with a cautious exchange.  Works through the heels a little as the short arm action works to a high-3/4 slot.  74 across the diamond.
