5-foot-8, 174-pound  wiry prospect on the mound. Uses an up tempo pace while staying relatively smooth throughout the delivery. Lands slightly closed at foot strike while working from the 3rd base side of the rubber. Some crossfire action working against his body at times. Throws through a near high ¾ slot. Fastball stays true through the zone at 61-65 mph. Curveball is a big 12/6 breaker with gradual movement 54-57 mph. Two-way prospect. Right-handed bat that starts in a balanced stance. Simple loading sequence followed by a level, compact stroke. Offers a bit more strength than speed through the zone presently. At third base he plays with fluid actions and quiet feet. Reliable hands with feel for the spot. Tossed across the diamond with accuracy and developing strength.

Starts in a balanced position at the plate from the right side. Barrel starts vertical and flows back during his toe turn load. Strength stands out in his compact swing. Generates some natural whip in there as well. A line drive type guy who can finds the gaps and use the whole field. Showed feel in the box. In the infield he plays under control in his approach, prior to fielding in the middle of his body. Would be aided by playing lower through the baseball. Transfer is smooth and arm is loose. Glove skills are developing and hands are soft. On the mound the right-hander has an uptempo delivery that requires little effort. Uses a chest high leg kick prior to his stride. Tall and fall type guy. Arm speed is developing and he works through a near ¾ slot. Fastball has some run, coming in anywhere from 70-74 mph. Breaking ball moves across the plate, showing signs of sharpness at 60-61 mph.
