Showcased a lean and compact 5-foot-8, 168-pound frame with present strength in his actions. The right-handed hitter begins with a balanced, even stance utilizing a leg-kick to initiate a slightly uphill barrel path into the hitting zone with weight shift. Demonstrated length in the swing with a lower half that gets after it, driving hard into a stiff front side upon contact. Featured a middle of the field approach during batting practice with occasional pull-side lift, evidenced by an 83 mph bat-exit velocity. Ran a 4.69 home-to-first. The primary backstop displayed adequate receiving skills with minimal glove hand movement at the catch point. Pop times ranged from 2.00-2.05 on accurate throws of 74 mph from the crouch out of a fluid, high ¾ arm-slot. Showed off comfortability while blocking, beating the ball to the spot with the glove and flashing athletic movements to either side of the plate.
