6/5/14 - Currently ranked No. 136 in Illinois’ 2014 class
. Tufts University signee. Physical 6-foot-3, 210-pound left-handed hitter with an advanced bat. Absolutely loved O’Hara’s compact powerful swing. Showed pull-side and opposite field pop. Sac-fly to deepest part of the ballpark, 385 feet to right center, in first at bat. Barreled a ground out to second that was smoked in second at bat. Struck out on a backdoor slider in third at bat that was borderline. Two-run double over the left fielder’s head on a 2-2 count in last at bat. Also hit towering foul ball home run down the right field line in first at bat. Defensively, has limited mobility side to side at third base. May need to move to first down the road. Showed good hands, and made a great diving play in seventh inning to his left, but made an errant throw. Arm action lacks fluidity, but shows arm strength. Closed game and fastball was 82-83.
