Physical: Projectable / athletic 5-foot-11, 155-pound frame with natural feel for the game and strength through the usage of long levers. 7.49 runner in the 60-yard dash. 

Offensively: RHH. Tall, slightly open stance with the hands showing slight rhythm bouncing off of the shoulder in the setup. Utilized a leg-hang stride with weight shift into a stiff front side at impact while initiating the hands through a flat barrel path into the hitting zone. Lets long levers do damage at the front of the plate getting short to the ball and long through extension. Advanced feel for the barrel while peppering both gaps on pitches in any quadrant. Athletic and adjustable lower half allowing the hands to match plane early and often, recorded a peak bat-exit velocity of 90 mph according to Trackman Baseball / 12.5% hard hit rate. Top of the order ability who could eventually slide into the middle of a collegiate order if he continues adding strength. 

Defensively: The primary outfielder featured long, rangy movements during defensive evaluations with CF-like qualities. Quick first step, makes decisions early on in routes, and can drop step and go get the baseball. Plays quicker than his 7.49 60-yard dash speed, gets downhill through the baseball at the fielding window approaching off of the left side of his body with a soft glove hand. Advanced arm strength out of a whippy, high ¾ slot (full arm circle). Stood out as an above average defender who should handle at least two of the three OF positions at the next level. OF - 90 mph

Showcased above average feel for his hands in the swing with a mature approach yielding hard contact throughout the middle of the field with extra base hit prowess. Was able to keep long levers inside the baseball with advanced bat speed towards the front of the plate, a combination that yielded natural backspin to all fields.

The RHH turned the bat around early in the zone creating a max batted ball distance of 318 feet to LF. 

Defensively: The primary outfielder demonstrated impact defender qualities with long, rangy actions and a smooth approach consistently getting downhill with momentum towards the target. Could steal away hits in the gap and throw runners out at the plate, the arm was live through a high ¾ slot with a full arm circle, showing plenty of carry towards the target. OF - 90 mph

Defensively: The primary outfielder had one of the top defensive rounds among all prospects in attendance. Glides in the outfield with high level feel for all routes. Can drop step and go get it for his pitchers or play downhill through a single to the outfield creating momentum towards the target. Soft glove hand played out in front with an accurate, high ¾ arm-slot that was long in the back and long in the front. Plenty of arm-speed, could handle two, possibly three outfield positions at the next level. OF - 90 mph

Demonstrated advanced feel for a projectable 5-foot-11, 150-pound frame with wiry strength and room to fill out as he matures. The right-handed hitter begins with a tall, even stance utilizing a controlled toe-tap stride to initiate his swing. Generated a short, repeatable stroke through a slightly uphill path allowing for his long levers to create barrel whip into the hitting zone. Showed sink into a wide lower half with some twitch while hitting into a stiff front side.

Bat is on plane early and late. There is some length. A bat exit velocity of 73 mph was registered. Mechanics and athleticism suggest a coming jump in bat speed correlative to strength gains.
