6-foot-1, 174-pound, large and lengthy frame, has plenty of room to fill out. A left-handed hitter, the stance is slightly open, hands are loose and back elbow is extended out. The setup is balanced and gets into a very good hitting position, hands are back and has a small leg kick for timing. The swing is flat through the zone, barrel stays in the zone a long time. The approach is gap to gap, sprays it to all fields. The tee exit velocity was 77 mph, with more in his swing. Collected a single in the game, was 4.61 down the line in the game. Defensively, works from the ground up and moves well to the glove side. The hands are soft, work out front, gets low when he fields and stays low through the transfer. The arm action is short, clocked at 76 mph, has carry and life to it across the diamond. Looks to be a tough kid at the hot corner, can handle the bat.

6-foot-1, 174-pound, physical, athletic frame, with plenty of room to fill out. A left-handed hitter, the stance is even and balanced with the hands set higher with some movement. The swing path is level to up, finishes with two hands. The lower half is under control, uses a small leg kick to toe tap for his stride and timing. The tee exit velocity was 81 mph, has more of pull approach. In game swings were good, made solid contact, time down the line was 4.72. Defensively, has good prep steps, works from the ground up. The hands are soft and fields ball out front, the feet and hands work well together. The arm has good strength, was clocked at 77 mph, across the diamond. The arm action is short, could stay through it a little more on release. Interesting left-handed hitter with some power potential.
