Body Type: 5-foot-9 165-pound prospect with room to add strength to an athletic build. Mechanical/Delivery Notes: Worked from the stretch only. Efficient motion projecting the hips and creating some tilt. Works through a short arm action and ¾ slot. Fastball: 77-79 mph fastball is easy out of the hand. Ball shows late cutting action to the glove side of the plate. Curveball: 69-70 mph curveball has tight spin. The pitch is fairly sharp on a 1/7 tilt. Presently a above average offering for his age. Changeup: 71-72 mph changeup is thrown with deceptive arm action offering late fade near the zone. Pitchability: True three pitch mix. Shows ability to locate all three offerings with the breaking ball being above average. Role: Currently trajectory leans towards a future role as a starter.

Body Type: 5-foot-9 165- pound athletic frame. Wiry. Swing Mechanics: Starts in a medium, balanced setup and utilizes a toe tap load. Shows good barrel control and strong hands. Bat path is slightly uphill but on plane with the pitch. Hit: Seemed to be able to drive the ball well to all fields. Power: Not necessarily a ton of raw power with an exit velo of 85 mph but he gets the most out of his power because of his natural ability to find the barrel. Offensive Projection: Top of the lineup kind of guy with the ability for gap power. Run: 4.25 home to 1st Field: Attacked the ball well while being under control in the outfield. Showed good footwork and got the ball out quick with good carry on his throws. Throw: 84 mph throw from the outfield. Definitely room for more velo to come with added strength and muscle to his frame. Defensive Projection: Should have the ability to stick in CF, can play all OF spots if needed.

An athletic 5-foot-9, 153-pound frame. The southpaw is mechanically efficient on the mound. Arm action is short and clean, with above average arm speed. Fastball showed slight run to it at times coming at 72-75 mph. His best secondary offering was 65-69 mph slider that was very sharp. The pitch doesn’t have big break to it but has good depth and does more than enough to miss barrels. Also flashed a changeup near fastball arm speed. An arm to follow as velocity should increase with maturity. A left-handed hitter that starts in a balanced setup. Uses a fluid knee pinch load to start his loading sequence. Hands stays simple prior to getting the bat through the zone on a level path. Weight tends to stay more towards his backside causing a slightly uphill path. Really handles the low pitch well. More pop to his pull side at this stage. An athletic outfielder that plays aggressively. Gets to the ball quickly and plays through it efficiently. Has confidence to his actions.
Outfield Velocity: 76 Exit Velocity: 78
