Physical: Wiry, developing 5-foot-10, 130lb frame with RTF. 7.51 runner in the 60.
Offensively: RHH. Slightly open, wide stance, as the hands show early rhythm. Utilized a directional lift-and-replace stride to initiate the swing through a flat, accurate path into the hitting zone. Consistent pull-side approach while timing up contact at the front of the plate for a T83 mph exit velocity. Worked around the ball on the first move.
Defensively: The primary shortstop featured choppy movements in either direction with anticipation and a quick release. Notched a 78 mph arm-strength across the dirt (H ¾)
Pitching: RHP. Starts off the far right corner of the rubber; adequate tempo that repeats down the mound. Intentful finish on the FB at 77-79 mph (1796). Mixed a sweeping 59-60 mph CB and quality mid-60’s CH.
