Physical Attributes/Projection: 6-0, 165lbs, still early on in his physical maturation. Lean frame will support additional player development. Substantial projection remaining.
Offensive Analysis: Athletic stance from the left side. Slightly open with a loose handset and a small rhythmic waggle in the bat. Medium knee to knee leg kick coils the lower half as the barrel turns up top. Hands launch from a deep slightly arm barred position. Full rotation in the lower half is clean and efficient. Maximizes current power. Tons of barrels in his BP rounds.
Defensive Analysis: Consistent defender, confident with his footwork and glove during his defensive eval. Knows his way around the bag in game as well. Smooth transfers and accurate throws to 2B. H3Q arm slot.
5-9, 135lbs. 7.34 sixty time (laser). 72 mph exit velocity (tee). 67 mph INF velocity. LHH with a balanced, athletic stance. Loose handset. Short stride, lands softly and loads the hands back. Controlled tempo. Showed the ability to the keep the hands inside the ball and use the entire field with a line drive approach. Natural loft in the bat path. Stop and start footwork at 1B. Choppy footwork at times. Confident in the hands and clean exchanges. Developing body control will assist footwork around the bag. Max FB 70 mph. CB 62-63 mph. CH 63-65 mph
