2/17/20
2/17/20 Position Player Hit: Right-handed hitter that starts in an athletic stance. Uses a toe turn timing trigger during slight back load to hands. Balanced swing with a comparable offering of strength and speed to hands. Found the barrel often in BP. Power: Line drive pop. Offensive Projection: Table setter. Field: In the infield he plays with a controlled tempo throughout, fielding from heels in funnel. Ball skills are on par for class. Also worked out behind the dish which appears to be his primary position. Moves well back there with feel for the spot. Pop times should only improve as physical maturation takes its course. Throw: High-3/4 righty with average strength. Defensive Projection: UTL.
