8/6/17
At the plate the lefty uses a toe turn to get things going. Shifts weight back prior to launch. Launches from a balanced setup. Bat speed is above average and he works on a level plane. Strong kid with some barrel whip. Line drive type guy who can find the gap regularly.  In the infield he plays low and under control. Actions are more athletic outside funnel. Ball skills are adequate and hands are soft. How arm develops will likely determine which side of the field he ends up at.
60-Yard Dash: 7.35
INF Velocity: 79
Exit Velocity: 80


5/31/16
5-foot-11, 165-pound thin build. Shows slow rhythm in his delivery. Good direction to the plate, landing on line at foot strike. Throws from a short back arm action into a high ¾ slot. Fastball sat 76-79 mph. Curveball sat 59-62 mph with gradual 11/5 break. Changeup sat 65-66 mph. At the plate he starts in a tall setup before initiating his swing through a double tap load and controlled stride. Using a bat tip load he is able to create good whip through the zone with above average batspeed. A back leg hitter that is better to his pull side. Registered an exit velocity of 85 mph and ran a 4.83 from home to first. In the infield he does a good job of creating angles to efficiently field through the ball. Needs to play lower. Above average hands.
7/8/15
5-foot-11, 156-pound thinner body frame, with room to fill out with. In the infield he uses pretty good footwork to approach ground balls, but then stops feet and needs to continue to play through the baseball. He fields with his hands out in front of his body. Throws with a clean, short arm action coming from a ¾ slot, reaching a top velocity of 71 mph across the infield. On the mound he has a slower paced delivery, with repeatable mechanics and a straight up and down leg lift. He lands in a straight line at foot strike, finishing with his momentum carrying towards home plate in a balanced position. He throws with average arm speed, from a high ¾ slot. His fastball was between 70-73 mph. His curveball had gradual break with 11/5 tilt at 55-56 mph. He threw his changeup consistently at 58 mph.
