Smallish 5-foot-10, 165-pound body shows some baseball sense. Ran a 5.31 40-yard dash on concrete. Defensively, projects as 2B type with good hands and some range with some tweaking needed with his balance. Has good 77 mph arm velo across the diamond from all angles. Has good balance in stance, does tend to flatten hands in trigger, hence only 70 mph bat velo. Needs to improve his lower half in swing. Projects as RHP, has quick arm speed from 3/4 slot. Fastball ranges 82-84 mph. Curveball sits 62-65 mph with good, downward break. Changeup is thrown with good arm action and sits at 77-78 mph.

Good delivery and extension from 3/4 slot. Repeats delivery but needs more lower-half hip pop in finish (which would enhance velocity). Was inconsistent in feel of curve but good ones showed two plane tilt at 67-68 mph. Fastball was straight at 77-79 mph (he was consistently in the low 80’s in the winter)
