Physical: Long, slender 6-foot-1, 165-pound build with RTF. 7.19 runner in the 60YD.
Offensively: RHH. Narrow, open stance, as the back elbow starts higher. Utilized a stretched leg-hang stride to initiate his swing through a flat, repeatable path into the hitting zone. Showed minimal effort with palm-up at impact and notched a T85MPH EV during a gap-to-gap approach (301 FT). Chance to loft the ball.
Defensively: The primary OF featured average pace with an accurate glove-hand and straight-line movements to the target. Dropped the hips before fielding with a 74MPH arm-strength (H ¾) out of a 4-step release.
Pitching: RHP. Quicker tempo from the middle of the mound; slowed down after the stack and created big HM to the FB; 74-75MPH (17 inches). Added a sweeping 63-66MPH CB that varied feel and a faded upper-60’s CH.
