6-foot-1, 170-pound, RHH had a strong offensive day, reaching base four times (collecting two hits, a walk and a hit by pitch).  Tall, athletic frame w/ long levers, well-proportioned lean strength.  Super projectable, has just scratched the surface of his frame potential.  Offensively, hits w/ a straight on, crouched stance w/ short hand rhythm into short stride and short hand load.  Generates bat speed through the zone, flashes whip.  Up the middle approach w/ lot of line drives when right.  Projectable pull power w/ present gap power.  Knack for barrel.  Defensively, moves well at SS w/ solid footwork, projectable carry to target arm strength and solid hands.

6-foot-1, 170-pound, RHP had some rust on the mound while flashing some swing and miss stuff, 4 of 6 swing and misses against him, but likely projects best on the middle infield.  Tall, athletic frame w/ long levers, well-proportioned lean strength.  Super projectable, has just scratched the surface of his frame potential.  Pitches from a full wind-up into H ¾ release from the first base side of the rubber.  Bit of a hanging leg kick, got him off timing and arm alternated between being late and being early.  Got better as he shook off the rust.  Downhill plane.  Straight FB w/ occasional short arm-side run.  Big downer CB, flashes proper shape and rotation.  Struggled to get the feel for it on this day.  Sprayed the zone, tools to control.
