6/30/21

Physical: Athletic, twitchy 5-foot-8, 165lb frame. 6.90 runner in the 60-yard dash.

Offensively: RHH - Upright, slightly open stance as the hands operated up/down deliberately out over the plate. Utilized a directional lift and replace stride to initiate through a slightly uphill, connected path into the hitting zone. Lived mostly to the middle/pull-side of the field, able to lift on pitches thigh high and above. Produced an impressive 60% line drive rate (via Trackman) with good barrel awareness and above-average rotational scores. Worked up to a near 300 foot batted ball distance with a top of the order type profile, finding extra-base hits on occasion at a T87 mph bat-exit velocity. 

Defensively: The primary outfielder played with gaining tempo, over his front side and chest downhill greeting momentum towards the target. Quick first step and lower posture allowing for comfortable lateral movements and route awareness. Fielded softly off the left side and released from a fluid, H ¾ slot (83 mph arm, can handle any three OF positions).
