Physical: Longer, projectable 5-foot-11, 160lb frame with RTF. 7.80 runner in the 60.
Offensively: RHH. Wider, coiled stance from open, as the hands start level with the back shoulder. Utilized a heel-raise stride to initiate the swing through a flat, rotational path into the hitting zone. Liked to get the arms extended for a pull-side approach, recording a T80 mph exit velocity during BP. Worked up to a 247 foot distance with varying success on the barrel.
Defensively: The outfielder displayed above-average pace and attacked the ball early off the bat. Fielded off his left side with chopped footwork and unleashed an 86 mph arm-strength from a live H ¾ slot.
Pitching: RHP. Begins off the left corner of the rubber; consistent tempo with some hip-coil at the top of the stack. Lower-posture holds the glute and fires down the slope, holding 81-84 mph with heavy spin. Added a sweeping mid-60’s CB (T67 mph) for strikes and fading 74-76 mph CH (1333).
