Strength is beginning to show on a 6-foot-1, 180-pound frame.  Raw actions at times but moves well in the outfield and shows flashes of the ball jumping off the barrel.  Exit velocity peaked at 88 from the right handed hitter.  Tall stance, loads back, using a short stride.  Better than average bat speed that looks for extension.  Pull tendency and tends to feel for the barrel throughout BP.  Some swing and miss in game settings. Aggressive to the ball and fields through with rhythm to a clean exchange.  Strong arm swing where the elbow loads the scapular into a high-3/4 slot.  Average carry, 78 mph out of the hand, with above average feel for accuracy to 3B and the plate.

Athletic build with some length in his levers.  Open stance works with a short stride staying slightly open at foot strike.  Average bat speed works with a pull tendency while staying flat through the zone.  Some hooking of balls throughout BP.  Exit velocity topped at 86 mph off the barrel.  Average barrel awareness throughout BP.  Flashes spurts of athleticism but is still working to repeat.  Ran a 7.12 sixty.  Fluid through the baseball in the outfield, clean exchanges.  Works to an over-the-top slot with a long arm action.  Arm measured at 76 mph from right field.  

Athletic presence listed at 6-foot, 180 pounds with a strong lower half.  Worked to be fluid with his footwork through the ball and into the throwing position.  Short, strong arm swing, with a high-3/4 slot produced some accuracy with average carry.  Positional velocity topped at 74.  Offensively, the righty has some strength, when on the barrel.  Works from an athletic stance, loads back with a short stride.  Gap-to-gap approach at times nullified by late timing.  Exit velocity topped at 86.

Ran a 7.11 sixty.  An athletic setup and early, long stride led to average bat speed.  At times a little rotational and showing a pull emphasis, flashed an exit velocity of 72mph.   From the outfield, a short, over-the-top slot produced a positional velocity of 73mph.
