Positional Profile: SS/RHP
Body: 5-8, 145-pounds. Smaller frame at present with longer arms that point to more height and size.
Delivery: Starts facing homeplate with a first step towards first base that works back to the middle part of the rubber. Easy and repeatable delivery that moves connected down the mound. Continues to develop and sync delivery together. Showed good pace with a strong lower half.
Arm Action: RH. Over the top arm slot that stays short and connected at hand break.
FB: T71, 70-71 mph. Fastball carries line with late arm-side run. Should be able to get soft contact in zone with located down. T1850, 1788 average rpm.
CB: 58-61 mph. Developing shape. Feel for throwing strikes and will need to continue to develop spin and shape of offering. T1703, 1666 average rpm.
SL: 58-58 mph. T1713, 1713 average rpm.
CH: 65-65 mph. Kills spin with inside release for late arm-side run. Will need to continue to develop feel for throwing strikes. T1477, 1375 average rpm.
ATH: 7.85 runner in the 60.
Positional Profile: SS/RHP
Body: 5-8, 145-pounds. Smaller frame at present with longer arms that point to more height and size.
Hit: RHH. Even feet with slightly bent knees at the start of his swing with his hands above his rear shoulder. A small load with the front leg shoots the hands back into a loaded position prior to the swing launching though. Small scissoring action with the backside. Slightly downward batpath produces mainly low line drives and ground balls, was able to get under low pitches well.
Power: 82 max exit velocity, averaged 68.8 mph. 286' max distance.
Arm: RH. INF-71 mph. Very accurate on the bag throws from a high ¾ release slot.
Defense: Solid foot and glove work, arrives on time to the ball. Could carry more momentum through the ball for better throws.
ATH: 7.85 runner in the 60.
