Physical: Wiry, long-legged 6-foot-2, 165lb frame. 7.12 runner in the 60-yard dash.
Offensively: LHH. Crouched, athletic stance, holding onto the rear-hip, as the hands start high. Utilized a short lift-and-replace stride to initiate the swing through a flat, rotational path into the hitting zone. Lead arm works longer at times, allowing for a pull-side approach to the right side of the field and a T84 mph exit velocity. Lifted the ball for a 63% fly ball rate via Trackman.
Defensively: The outfielder chopped the feet early, reading the ball off the bat, and getting downward over the front side at the touch. Fielded softly off his left and reached back for a 74 mph arm (H ¾).
Pitching: RHP. Begins off the middle of the rubber; up/down leg-lift with minor hip-coil, staying in line towards the mitt with a moderate arm-action. FB ranged 72-74 mph for strikes at 1898 rpms, adding a developing upper-50’s CB and 63-64 mph CH with HM.
