6-foot-2, 205-pound right-handed hitting third baseman and pitcher. Defensively, shows the ability to make all the throws, threw 72 mph across the diamond out of a long arm swing. The glove is solid, the footwork to and through the ball needs to improve as he is flat footed too often. Ran a 4.37 down the line on his dig as the strides are long and he gets there quickly. Offensively, showed a tee exit velocity of 81 mph. Hits out of a no-stride approach, stays in his legs and uses his hands well. The barrel is flat through the zone and he is on time with his path. On the mound, the fastball touched 80 mph out of a long arm path, slightly above ¾. The backside has a small collapse to it, as he needs to stay tall in order to use his leverage on the hitter. The spin pitch has the right shape to it, sits at 67 mph. The changeup is thrown with good hand speed, sits at 75 mph. Interesting prospect.
Tee Exit Velocity- 81 mph
INF Velocity- 72 mph

6-foot-2, 205-pound right-handed hitting infielder and arm. The frame is outstanding, look for this guy to fill out and be dangerous with the bat. Tee exit velocity of 79 mph. Starts with an even base and steps into the pitch. The arm are loose and free. The swing is long to the ball as he needs better direction to start the swing. Would like to see the swing flatten more through the zone, but the potential is there. Defensively, threw 77 mph across the diamond. The prep steps need cleaning, to aid his throwing. On the mound, the fastball has life to it at 79 mph. The spin pitch needs more fastball hand speed to it, sitting at 67 mph. The changeup needs a rotational fix, sitting at 74 mph. The arm works out of a ¾ angle and the direction of his feet are appropriate. The glove side has a pull to it and he drifts down the mound as opposed to getting directly into foot strike. Potential is there. Ran 4.0 thirty.
