At first base he brings above average athleticism to the spot. Plays low off the bag and remains athletic through fielding. Glove projects as an above average tool for the spot. Impressed at the plate. The lefty looks fluid and athletic during his pre launch movements. Barrel shows whip through the zone with natural loft to path. Generates backspin to both gaps with enough juice to be regular extra base hit threat. Impressed on the mound. Frame is projectable with room to add strength. Arm action is long/loose through a ¾ slot. Repeats his delivery and works with good tempo. Ball comes out with ease and his fastball shows late life to both sides of the plate. Currently sits 73-76 mph but it’s only a matter of time before he gains more velocity. Spins a 1/7 breaking ball with sharp action and developing depth. The breaker is a solid pitch that should only get better as velocity increases. Changeup comes out with a fastball look before showing heavy arm side action.

2/1/17 An athletic 5-foot-10, 139-pound prospect. On the mound the southpaw has a slower tempo to his repeatable delivery. Gets very tall at balance point and lands in line to home plate. Arm action is long as it goes back with some quickness to it. Works through a high-¾ slot with his fastball coming in at 68-72 mph. Breaking ball had some tightness to it as it crosses the plate at 54-57 mph. Needs to be more consistently in the zone with the pitch. A lefty swinger that gets things started through a leg kick load and well timed stride. Hands stay simple prior to taking a mostly level path to the ball. Gets on plane early and showed the ability to drive the ball to his pull side. Should see more pop with added strength as swing is efficient. Brings above average athleticism to the first base position. Plays low and fields the ball out in front of his body on plays in his funnel. Showed a quick first step.
