A right-handed hitter that starts in an open setup. Gets back to even through a double tap load. Path is level to slightly uphill. Bat speed is above average and strength stands out as top tool. Showed feel for the barrel with pop to pull side. In the infield he showed quick footwork. Hands are soft and he showed above average ball skills. Lateral mobility and arm profile him best at second base.

5-foot-8, 170-pound medium sized, stocky frame. A right-handed hitter, who shows strength in his swing. Hits from an open stance using a slight, weight shift to his back leg to help generate power into his swing. Could get his stride back to even more consistently. Swings with a mostly level bat path through the zone, finishing with a one-handed follow through. Reached a top exit velocity of 79 mph and ran a 7.61 60-yard dash at the event. In the infield, he fields out in front of his body. Funnels the ball into his body and transfers into a high ¾ slot with 72 mph arm strength. On the mound he shows good rhythm in his delivery that requires regular effort. Good direction to the plate. Long back arm action into a high ¾ slot with the fastball sitting 73-75 mph. Curveball sat 59-62 mph with gradual break.

5-foot-8, 170-pound stocky build. On the mound he shows a compact delivery that requires regular effort. Good direction to the plate, landing online at foot strike. Has a tendency to fall towards the first base side on his follow through. Fastball sat 72-74 mph. Curveball sat 60-61 mph with gradual 11/5 break. Changeup sat 66-67 mph. At the plate he starts in a balanced setup before using a leg kick to initiate his loading sequence. Minimal load with hands. Hits off back leg which causes an uphill path. Would like to see him get more weight transfer into contact to improve pop and flatten out swing. Registered an exit velocity of 81 mph and ran a 5.0 from home to first. Has some fluidity to his actions in the infield and is able to make plays on the move. Needs to play lower. Threw across the infield with 76 mph arm strength.

Throws from a high-3/4 slot with 69 mph arm strength across the diamond.
