9/17/17 A smooth swinger from the left side. Line drive swing with gap abilities. Does a nice job of finding plane and has feel for the barrel. Natural tools are developing and he should grow into more routine gap pop with maturity. Profiles as a top of the lineup type guy with three-hole potential. In the infield he uses direct footwork in his approach. Hands are soft and glove is reliable. Projects best at second base at this stage. 60-yard dash: 7.64 Infield Velocity: 73 Exit Velocity: 83
1/29/17 At the plate he starts open prior to his leg kick load and short stride. Hands move back to a strong launch position. Path is downhill with some barrel whip. Was at his best when he worked to his pull side. His downhill path allows him to handle the low pitch really well. Defensively, he is a middle infield type. Shows anticipation in his feet, but tendency to field flat footed. Would like to see more fluidity to his actions. Average transfer. Throws from ¾ slot with long arm action. Top velocity of 77 mph across the infield.
Home to First: 4.37 Infield Velocity: 77 Exit Velocity: 86
6/21/16 5-foot-11, 145-pound thin, athletic frame. Creates good direction to home plate with his lower half. Has a three pitch mix to his arsenal while working through a high-¾ slot. Short, quick arm action. Fastball stays flat through the zone at 70-72 mph. Curveball has an 11/5 shape with gradual break at 58-60 mph. Also mixed in a changeup near fastball armspeed at 59-60 mph. In the infield he showed some quickness to his feet with excellent pre fielding footwork. Would like to see him player lower. Average glove skills at this stage. Threw across the infield with 70 mph arm strength. At the plate he uses a simple hands back load during his short stride forward. A handsy hitter that gets good whip through the zone. Produced consistent line drives in batting practice. Registered an exit velocity of 75 mph.
