8/2/16
6-foot-2, 180-pound athletic body frame. From the infield he uses good footwork to approach ground balls, while continuing his momentum through the baseball. Throws with a clean arm action through a lower ¾ slot using 78 mph velocity across the infield. The right-handed hitter starts from a wide base using a good, rhythmic weight shift with his lower half to his back leg to generate power. Has a fluid load with his hands moving just past his back shoulder, swinging with a level bat path through the zone. Showed the ability to use both sides of the field during his round of batting practice. Recorded a top exit velocity of 85 mph and ran a 4.95 home to first base time. On the mound he uses regular effort to his delivery. Has a straight up and down leg lift, landing slightly more closed at foot strike, and carries his momentum in good direction. Throws with some quickness to his arm speed through an upper ¾ slot. His fastball ranged between 73-77 mph. The curveball has mostly gradual break with 11/5 tilt between 64-68 mph. His changeup has tailing action to it throwing it with fastball arm speed at 69-70 mph.
