6-foot, 150-pound athletic lanky build. At the plate, the right-handed hitter had an exit velocity of 81 mph. (68.6 mph bat speed average). (23.2 mph hand speed average). Begins in a balanced crouched stance with a rhythmic active load, then uses a controlled stride. Bat speed is quick efficient, shows a short an inside-out swing plane and high front foot finish. Found some barrels with loud contact. Tough out approach. Confident in the outfield, his best throws to the infield topped out at 84 mph; had in control fluid footwork, a quick clean exchange, and soft sure hands. Fields the ball out front, movements laterally were athletic. Showed a high ¾ slot with a longer arm action. Clocked a 60 time of 7.0 at the event.
