On the mound, the right-handed pitching prospect brings an athletic, muscular build. Offers a faster paced wind-up as he come to his balance point. Stays tall throughout his windup and into a low downhill drive delivery. Creates solid energy from a slight lean back and back hip pinch into his delivery. Arm moves well and has solid whip into a ¾ slot. Unique delivery brings him into a slight falloff to the first base side at finish. Fastball has solid zip and located well at the corners. Stays true through the zone with slight arm side action. Fastball works best when located well and a solid setup pitch for his offspeed. Offspeed consists of two different breaking balls. The curveball spins at an 11/5 path and has solid break. Also offers a slider that compliments his two other pitches and has solid break that darts across the plate away from right-handed hitters. Shows solid ability to locate all three pitches and kept the hitters off-balance by mixing up the three in all counts. A righty swinger that has fluid movements prior to launch. Natural tools are above average and he swings with intent. Path is slightly uphill giving him loft power to his pull side. Shows all the signs of a middle of the lineup guy at the next level. Behind the plate he has an ideal frame for the position. Exchange was clean and arm action works. Would like to see him stay lower as he gets out of his crouch. Throws were consistently on the bag.

A right-handed hitter that starts in a taller setup. Gets things started through a s month leg kick. Barrel launches from a vertical position creating solid whip through the zone. Bat speed is above average and his strength stood out in his swing. Drove the ball with authority showing consistent gap pop and flashes of power to his pull side. Middle of the lineup type bat. Behind the plate, the bigger framed catcher displays solid athleticism. Back leg drives into the ground as his hips rotate. Transfers were adequate. Throws with a sense of urgency from a 3/4 slot. Arm strength is average. On the mound the right hander has uptempo delivery that requires some effort. A drop and drive guy that creates adequate momentum with lower half.  Arm moves through a high-3/4 slot with above average arm speed. Fastball comes out of his hand well, showing slight cut at times. Was mostly in the zone with the pitch, working both sides of the plate. His best off speed pitch was his slider. Used the pitch as a freeze or chase pitch. The offering showed late, sharp action across the plate. Also spins a breaking ball that showed some sharpness to it on an 11/5 plane. The breaker was much sharper when down in the zone. Displayed a changeup near fastball arm speed. Has decent feel for the pitch.

A right-handed hitter that starts in a taller setup. Barrel stays fluid throughout loading sequence. Creates excellent energy with his lower half through a leg kick load. Barrel gets on plane early and he does a nice job of staying through contact. Swings with intent and the ball gets off his bat very well. Really impressive round of batting practice, consistently driving the gaps. Behind the plate he showed average to above average catch and throw skills. Gets out of his stance well and throws with accuracy. Receiving and blocking abilities are there. Has very solid frame for the position. On the mound he uses an  up tempo delivery that requires some effort while doing a good job of incorporating the lower half and really gets into that back leg with a diagonal shoulder tilt.. Throws through a high ¾ arm slot in which his fastball sat 79-83 mph . Curveball is thrown near 12/6 shape at 62-65 mph . Slider shows 10/4 bite at 68-69 mph and could be hard to recognize. Tunnels that pitch well and could be a definite out pitch moving forward. Also mixed in a changeup at 70-74.
