Scouting Report

Spring 2016 - Decommitted from Southern Illinois and re-opened recruitment.

10/15/16 - Home-1st: 4.73, Pop Time: 1.96-2.01, Position Velocity:  C-81, Exit Velocity: 86
6-foot-3, 205-pound, LHH continues to impress with his ability to drive the baseball from the left side, strong frame with good pull side power but can also drive the ball the other way. Good balance and rhythm in swing, ball jumps off the barrel. Showed the most arm strength to date at 81 from the crouch. Has made noticeable improvements as a receiver. Committed to Southern Illinois following the event.
