8/1/17
The right-handed hitting prospect  initiates his loading sequence with a small leg lift. Hands move back with rhythm during stride. Launches from a balanced position. Path is level with some natural loft. Strong kid with above average bat speed. Showed feel for the barrel. Should develop into some gap pop. A middle infielder with smooth actions. Takes direct footwork on plays in funnel. Actions are more athletic on the move. Reads the ball well off the bat and has solid lateral mobility. Glove works and arm likely puts him at second base at the next level.

A right-handed hitter that starts in a tall setup. Goes with a short, controlled stride for timing. Hands stay loose as they move back during his stride. Bat has some whip to it while working on a mostly level path. Showed above average bat speed and stays through contact well. Produced line drives to both sides of the field in batting practice. In the infield he plays low and under control. Tends to field from heels on plays in his funnel. Showed a very quick transfer on the move.

Took one of the better rounds of infield we saw on the day. Plays loose and with confidence. Footwork is fluid, with above average lateral mobility. Glove skills are there and actions remain on the move. A contact guy at the plate that has a relatively simple approach mechanically. Moves his hands to launch during his short stride forward. Bat gets through the zone on a downhill path. Routinely squared balls up in batting practice and used the whole field.

60-yard dash: 7.52

Exit Velocity: 82
