4.29.15 - 5-foot-10, 170-pound athletic left-handed hitting shortstop, ranked No. 119 in Illinois, lean, muscular lower half. One of the top middle infielders still available in Illinois. Speed is game changing, ran 4.08 to first on a safety squeeze where he didn’t get out of the box quickly. Hits from slightly open setup, slight leg kick, drives front knee to back leg to load hips. Up the middle/opposite field approach. Lined out hard to left field in third at bat. Defensively, hands are soft, attacks baseball, impressed in pregame with range from side-to-side. Short, quick, athletic arm action, 81 mph across the diamond. Not a power arm, more 2B type, but ability to come and get the ball quickly helps arm play up at shortstop. High follow prospect in the 2015 class.

2.16.15 - 5-foot-10, 170-pound, left-handed hitting shortstop. Athletic build.

At the plate hits from an open stance, smooth load, and short toe tap stride. Gap to gap, line drive, contact hitter, with a short, level swing, and a fast bat. 84 mph exit velocity from a tee. Showed athleticism running the 60 at 6.81
