An infield prospect in the 2019 class. Ran a 8.02 60-yard dash. A right-handed hitter that starts in an athletic setup. Barrel maintains momentum throughout loading sequence. Uses a leg kick for timing/energy. Load is fluid and repeatable in general. Swings with intent on a slightly downhill path. Strength stands out as top tool at the plate. Present gap guy who has power potential as bat speed catches up to strength. Reached a top exit velocity of 82 mph off the tee. At third base he plays under control prior to fielding. Glove works well and he showed the ability to makes plays on the move. Would like to see him play lower through the baseball. Showed 68 mph arm strength across the diamond.

A right-handed hitter that starts in a balanced setup. A smooth swinger with an efficient loading sequence. Path is level and swing is compact. A strong kid with developing bat speed. Showed signs of a middle of the order guy down the road. Did a nice job of using the whole field in BP. At third base he moves light on his feet approaching the baseball. Fields from heels in the middle of his body. Looked confident when working on the move. Ball skills are average at this stage. Made very impressive play to his backhand side in his defensive eval. In first base he moves off the bag fluidly. Hands are soft and ball skills are average to slightly above average. Showed feel for the position.
Home-1st: 4.9
Infield Velocity: 71
Exit Velocity: 84
