5-foot-10, 165-pound right-handed hitting third baseman hits from a wide, open setup, hands load and back smoothly, stride is short, hands stay quiet pre-pitch, with short, uphill batpath producing line drives with good carry from gap-to-gap and 82 mph exit velocity.  Let's the ball get deep and has a good approach at the plate with maturity to go the other way. Does a good job of utilizing lower half in his swing.  Defensively can get a little flashy but he stays low fielding the baseball showcasing very good hands, throwing 80 mph across the diamond from a short, high ¾ arm slot with accuracy.  Ran 7.47 60 yard dash. On the mound has a long-short arm action with good balance point and max effort delivery. He is in-line to the plate with good down angle producing fastballs 79-82, which is good velocity for a young 2017. Curve ball comes in at 66 mph with 12/6 action and nice bite. Nice looking prospect going into sophomore year. Could be one of the states better 2017's.
