Winter Open (February 26, 2017)

Athletic frame at 6-foot-0 160 pounds. The OF ran a 7.50 60 and a 4.63 home-to-1B. Offensively-  Balanced and even setup; loads hands straight back with a 30 degree bat angle. Stays behind the ball well with a direct swing path. Can work all parts of the field and will develop into a gap-to-gap hitter. Exit velocity at 82 MPH. Defensively- Active approach into the ball, can field out in front like an infielder at times. Additional aggression into his crow hop will help carry momentum into his throws. Will need some fine tuning here. Arm strength (71 MPH) and footspeed will be long term focal points. Offensive foundation is there and something to build upon.
