Physical: The Bucknell recruit stands a strong, athletic 6-foot-1, 195lbs with two-way appeal. 7.17 runner (60-yard).

Offensively: LHH - Upright, slightly narrow stance with pre-swing rhythm at a high-handed start. Utilized a leg-lift stride to initiate through a flat, fluid path into the hitting zone, lifting after impact. Able to find consistently square barrels at the front of the plate, backspinning the baseball for distance towards the middle of the field. Quality bat to ball skills and lots of confidence in-game, lagging the barrel for a loud 2-run home-run on his best swing of the weekend. Recorded a T98 mph bat-exit velocity with middle of the order projection and a near 390 foot batted ball distance at his peak (via Trackman). 

Defensively: The primary third baseman featured choppy, active footwork operating from right to left, down through the ball at the fielding window. Corralled from an even base, low posture as the hands played with depth towards the ground. Released quickly from a shorter, H ¾ slot with lesser intent (75 mph arm, more available). 

Pitching: RHP - The righty began off the left side of the rubber from the stretch-only primarily. Lifted the leg to a high, balanced setting before holding direction to the mitt upon hand-break. Got over the front side well, releasing from a H ¾ slot into the zone. The FB ranged from 84-87 mph with lower spin to the knees for strikes (37% zone rate via Trackman). Added a good, confident 72-74 mph CB with present downer shape for groundballs, swing/miss (-8 inches IVB, 1856rpms).

Physical: Athletic, projectable 6-foot, 190lb frame with tangible strength throughout the movements. 7.15 runner in the 60-yard dash. 

Offensively: LHH - Open, loose setup with his hands operating under control above the shoulder to start, consistently on time in the load finding success using a short leg lift stride out towards the pitcher. Held direction well, posting hard contact from the backside LCF gap with backspin, working all the way to the RCF “strong side” for extra-base hits. Middle of the order traits and natural feel for the barrel, carrying over into game action with a multitude of loud contact to the pull-side. Notched a T96 mph bat-exit velocity via Trackman Baseball and showed off a near 350 foot batted ball distance. A 55% line drive rate points to the ability to hit for average at the next level. 

Defensively: The third baseman featured above-average skills at the hot corner with range to the glove hand side and feel for lateral movements; arrived on time with a slight down chest angle, approaching with confidence while showing the glove hand early. Funneled inward with solid pace, exchanging smoothly at the waist and releasing from a low-effort, high ¾ slot (79 mph arm). 

Pitching: RHP - Started off the middle/left side of the rubber from the stretch-only; high leg lift with a straight back down the slope, worked with repeatability into footstrike and showed good ride to the FB up in the zone (83-85, T86; 18 inches average IVB). Added a sharp downer 68-70 mph CB with two-plane shape and wipeout action when he gets on top; appeared as the K pitch in any count. Mixed a solid 73-75 mph CH as a third offering, dodging barrels with arm-side fade and killed spin just north of 1000rpms average (Trackman Baseball).

Physically: 6’0 185lb 3B/RHP ran a 7.22 laser timed 60-yard dash. Solid physical build has impressive actions that work on both sides of the ball. 

Offensively: Confident LH approach. Starts slightly open in his stance, as he toe taps and sets the foot down in preparation to begin the swing. Hands load slow and smooth, and work straight to the inside of the ball. Has above average ability to create power in his swing.

Defensively: Has a narrow approach with his feet and a low center of gravity. He funnels balls to the center of his body. Has advanced pocket awareness, and ability to get the ball in and out of his glove quickly.

Pitching: Pitches mainly from the stretch, he uses a smooth leg lift and drives off of his back side. Short and quick arm action mixes 3 low spin pitches (FB,CV,CH) in the strike zone. Athleticism transfers over to the mound.

Physical: 6-foot-0, 180 pounds; long, athletic frame. 7.3 runner in the 60.
Offensively: LHH. Wide open stance with upright bat angle ; fluid take back of the hands with a controlled even stride. Strong lower half, can turn quickly on the ball with a direct swing path with a quick bat to the ball. Consistent hard contact to all fields; peak Trackman exit velocity of 94 MPH.
Defensively: Upright setup; smooth long strides, can cover ground laterally, laid back approach. Soft hands, clean transfer; short arm swing, standard 3/4 arm slot. INF - 78 MPH. 
Pitching: Glove side setup and works primarily from the stretch; methodical leg lift into a consistent on-line stride to the plate; repeatable and effortless delivery & release with a downhill finish. Fluid moderate length arm action, high 3/4 arm slot. FB: Peak velo of 85 MPH, while sitting 83-85 MPH. Has good carry on the FB, has some natural cut at times. CB: 68-69 MPH. 11-5 rotation, tight spin with a good combination of vertical and horizontal break. CH: 74-76 MPH. Will get some arm side fade on the pitch.

6-foot, 180-pound two-way prospect had a breakout performance showcasing athleticism, above average strength in his frame and true two-way abilities. The left-handed hitter starts from a square stance and utilizes a lift-and-replace stride to begin. Displayed balance throughout with a strong lower half with present power to the pull side and the ability to create backspin. Registered a bat exit velocity of 90 mph and ran a 7.47 60-yard dash. Advanced defender plays low to the ground and through the baseball with easy 79 mph arm strength across the diamond. The righty also sat 82-84 from a high 3/4 arm slot with a quick arm swing and some sink to his fastball. Curveball at 68-70 showed biting 11/5 rotation with occasional two plane action. Changeup at 74-75 was thrown at near fastball arm speed.
