Funnels ball in with clean exchange and shorter arm action with 75 mph velocity across the diamond.

9/25/16 5-foot-11, 145-pound right-handed hitter starts from an open stance and initiates his swing with a toe-tap stride. Registered an 82 mph bat exit velocity, ran a 7.43 60-yard dash and showed plate discipline working three walks in seven official plate appearances in game action. Showcased accurate 72 mph arm strength across the diamond defensively with active feet and confidence in his glove hand. Projects best at second base with current arm strength, but could stay on left side of infield at next level with physical maturity and strength gains.
