Positional Profile: SS/RHP
Body: 6-1, 138-pounds. Longer frame with fluid movements. Slim build that goes with long legs and torso. Will easily fell out as he develops and will put on size relatively easily in both lower and upper half.
Delivery: Really smooth hips but opens up somewhat early before gathering fully on his backside. Some present sit but relies more on his arm at the present moment.
Arm Action: RH. Long arm action that has some quickness to it from a hgih 3/4 arm slot.
FB: T68, 66-68 mph. Fastball has present lift to it, especially up in the zone. Could look to gain spin while it does carry some arm side run. Attacking away to RHH and getting ahead with this pitch will be key for him. T1823, 1715 average rpm.
CB: 58-60 mph. Shows ability to throw CB for strikes down in the zone. Lacks proper spin for better biting action. Will need to use this as a strike pitch to work off his fastball. Could be more of a weapon with better velocity. T1579, 1536 average rpm.
CH: 65-66 mph. CH had some arm side fade, will keep LHH honest. Locating it to the arm side will key. T1397, 1395 average rpm.

Body: 6-1, 138-pounds. Longer frame with fluid movements. Slim build that goes with long legs and torso. Will easily fell out as he develops and will put on size relatively easily in both lower and upper half.
Hit: RHH. Nuetral stance that starts relaxed bat near back shoulder. Shallow lead foot lift to gain ground towards the pitcher. Fires well from the hips and stays connected with his arms to his body while being more top off dominate with a knob led path. Level barrel with bat that stays short through the zone. Can be more top half rotational dominate. 53.4 mph bat speed with 5 G’s of rotational acceleration.
Power: 79 max exit velocity, averaged 71.0 mph. 275' max distance.
Arm: RH. INF-66 mph. Arm is accurate with some windup to get the arm going. Could be quicker with a shorter arm but gets into slot. Lacks some current arm speed and will come as he understands how to fire his hips better.
Defense: Bounces well while showing ability to move laterally effotlessly while staying low to the ground. Can cover range in the infield with quick athleticism. Lacks feel at times for receiving and can speed up on himself before fully securing the baseball. Has some present shuffle steps to get body connected and timing of his throw. Good athlete that can work both sides of the middle infield.
