Athletic type middle infielder with good lateral feet and arm strength (77 mph) from all angles. The 5-foot-11, 175-pound infielder has good overall actions, accepts ball well with hands. Hits from open stance. Triggers hands from chest and extends arms well in zone. Righty hitter shows some future power pop. Ran 4.63 to 1st base with 81 mph bat exit. Will need to enhance his lower half torque to achieve max power. Shows good hand finish.

Good medium athletic body with some physical projection. Good raw skills (5.4 40 yd on concrete with solid 4 arm). Excellent infield ability with good lateral range, soft hands and arm strength from all angles. Has balanced hitting stance, good load and squares barrel on ball. Open stance, needs to square front side to pitcher and improve his lower half in swing. Doesn't have top desired speed to be a middle infielder at this time. Current D-2 guy who could be Mid-major D-1 with improved physical strength & bat.
