Positional Profile: OF/RHP
Body: 5-9, 130-pounds. Smaller lean frame that should continue to develop both height and weight wise.
Delivery: Starts offset forward leaning down the mound before taking his momentum back behind home with his plant leg. Repeats well with controlled tempo down the mound with an inverted front knee on his leg lift.
Arm Action: RH. Longer and connected over the top delivery.
FB: T80, 77-79 mph. Ride carries on the FB. Should be able to get ahead of hitters attacking them in the lower quadrant of the zone. T1928, 1822 average rpm.
SL: 61-65 mph. Sweepy offering that has advanced shape to it already. Will get swing and miss in zone, while also should be an out pitch with 2 K's. T2133, 2047 average rpm.
CH: 65-66 mph. Advanced shape already with hortizontal plane run with late fading action. Stays inside pitch well and should be a real weapon in any count. T1736, 1628 average rpm.
ATH: 7.80 runner in the 60.
Positional Profile: OF/RHP
Body: 5-9, 130-pounds. Smaller lean frame that should continue to develop both height and weight wise.
Hit: RHH. Starts with a shoulder width stance with his hands at his rear shoulder. Small inward rotation of the shoulders and a leg lift starts the swing. Shoulders rotate fully as the back leg drives into the front leg. Sprayed line drives all across the field with an even swing, slight tendency to drop the barrel. Should develop more strength and barrel control in the coming years.
Power: 86 max exit velocity, averaged 79.0 mph. 306' max distance.
Arm: RH. OF-80 mph. Strong accurate throws with whippy action in a high ¾ slot.
Defense: Gets to all balls easily, presents his glove early with a good footwork breakdown before fielding off of his left foot.
ATH: 7.80 runner in the 60.
