5-foot-10, 165-pound, athletic build. Left handed hitter works from an open, balanced setup. Smooth load with a short stride and gets his barrel through the ball. Fluid swing with above average bat speed. Looks to stay gap to gap with a line drive approach.  Good barrel awareness and keeps the barrel in the zone.  Exit velocity recorded at 84 mph. Impressed on the diamond with soft hands and fluid feet, athletically playing through the ball.  Clean exchanges with a short arm action, with the ability to throw from different slots. Accurate arm with carry to his throws peaking at 81 mph across the diamond. Good approach in game, with feel for his barrel and showing the ability to drive the ball to the opposite field.  Advanced approach offensively.  Defensively he projects to stay in the middle of the field with plenty of arm to stay on the left side as well.  Plays with pace and confidence.  Presence draws other players to follow his lead. Plays faster than the 60 time recorded at 7.09 on the laser timer.

Average frame with some athleticism at 5-foot-9, 150 pounds.  Left-handed hitter comes across “hitterish” in the box.  Open stance and good rhythm in the load back.  Short stride.  Handsy feel for the barrel.  Loose throughout with a direct path.  Better than average bat speed.  Exit velocity of 80, that will improve with added strength.  Level, line drive approach, sprayed back spin across the field.  On the infield, hands show to have some softness, funneling to the mid-section with active feet, in rhythm.  Plays through the ball with clean transitions getting to a long arm swing and high-3/4 release.  Shows carry, as the arm does work to load throws and lays off away from the body at times.  78 across the diamond on the throws.  Ran a 7.45 sixty.
