A right-handed hitter that starts in a balanced setup. Loading sequence is fluid, incorporating a leg kick while taking his hands to launch. Barrel maintains momentum and works on a mostly level plane to the baseball. Strong kid with a quick bat. Showed the ability to produce line drives to all fields in batting practice, with more consistent backspin to the opposite field. The third baseman uses a direct when attacking the baseball. Will be aided by controlling that attack and making sure to get his feet underneath himself when fielding that baseball to prevent fielding on his heels. Showed one of the quickest glove to hand transfer before throwing from a high ¾ slot.The right hander uses an athletic type delivery with good rhythm that will be able to be repeated. Fastball comes out of a high ¾ slot and is a long arm action with above average extension on the front and backside and sat 62-66 mph. Curveball has a 12/6 shape with some bite at 57-58 mph.
