Hit: Ton of feel in the box from the right side. Vertical barrel launch gives him a running start into contact. Very whippy stroke that runs into contact often. Solid round, showing all field abilities. Power: Line drive present pop. Offensive Projection: Table setter. Max BP Exit Velocity: 75mph. Max BP Distance: 259ft. Field: Really liked what I saw behind the dish. Expect the numbers to improve drastically over his high school career as he isn’t near his physical ceiling yet. When you get a chance to see him in game the receiving tool is well above average and he has the willingness to block. High motor type with a personality to take control of a staff back there. Throw: Developing strength. Defensive Projection: C.
