A right-handed hitter that starts in a balanced setup. Hands stay simple during his short stride. A strong kid that takes a level path to the baseball. Bat speed is an average tool at this stage. Ball comes off his bat well when the barrel flows to the middle of the field. Has the natural tools to grow into a middle of the lineup type guy. On the bump the righty as a slower paced tempo to a delivery that requires some effort. Creates energy with his lower half through an efficient hip load. Lands in line to home plate at foot strike. Arm actions is loose with above average arm speed. Arm moves through a near ¾ slot. Fastball looked heavy when in the zone with some cut to it. When he was out of the zone it was usually missing glove side. His go to secondary offering was his slider. The pitch moves laterally across the plate with some sharpness to it. Showed a breaking ball and changeup as well. Breaking ball showed gradual break while working on an 11/5 plane. Pitch has potential to have some swing and miss to it. Changeup is playable and he does a nice job of maintaining fastball arm speed. Cruised through his outing with multiple strikes outs, and weak contact.
