Positional Profile: 1B/3B RHH/INF…will add needed strength in future. Solid defender in future, arm strength will continue to develop. Upside to bat/power combo with adjustments, definite opportunities for adjustments present maximizing future bat/power combo.
Body: 6-1, 188-pounds. Good build/frame to add needed strength in future. Projects to have good build.
Hit: RHH. Lands in good position to hit after stride. Rotational back foot, spins. Learn to drive lower 1/2 forward with rotation, get to ball of foot with turn aggressively driving hip forward. Recommend trying to develop some linear movement forward with back foot. Lacks upright posture hitting presently, this will be helped by driving back side forward into firm front side. Barrel/hands in good launch position. Dumps barrel around creating length to swing. Work to take hands/barrel with more direct path to hit zone. Firming posture with hit mechanics will help swing also. 66.6 mph bat speed with 14 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 85 max exit velocity, averaged 72.9 mph. 319' max distance. Solid bat/power combo with adjustments in future. Opportunities present for changes, hasn't scratched the surface with what he can do with bat yet due to current approach. Nice upside.
Arm: RH. INF-73 mph. Arm works fine, lacks arm speed presently. Needs long toss program to develop arm speed and raw arm strength.
Defense: Feet work fielding along with hands, moves fine to baseball. Solid defender in future.
ATH: 7.57 runner in the 60. 1.82 and 4.21 in the 10 and 30 yard splits. Moves well. Runs hard, will improve some with added strength.
