6-foot, 170-pound left-handed hitting infielder. Showed very well at the event. The glove is solid, moves well to and through the ball. Showed the ability to make the forehand play and handle the pivot. Threw 77 mph across the diamond. Ran a 4.87 down the line on his dig, foot speed will have to improve if he wants to stay in the middle of the field defensively. The bat is solid, tee exit velocity of 82 mph. Hits out of a wide base, uses a knee to knee timing mechanism on the bottom half. The back elbow is high, helps cause length to the swing. The path is long to the ball, needs to be flattened. Took competitive at bats in the game and swung the bat well. Solid prospect.
