6-foot-2, 215-pound athletic, strong build. In the box the lefty starts in a balanced, wide stance. Does a good job of getting his lower half through a toe turn load. Shifts weight back to starts load and is able to transfer weight into contact. Hands are simple and get through the zone on a slightly uphill path. Showed good strength and batspeed through the zone and produced consistent line drives with impressive pop to pull side. Exit velocity was 86 mph. In the infield he showed smooth footwork both at first base and third base. Had a clean exchange and threw across the diamond with 73 mph arm strength. Would like to see him play lower at both positions. Behind the plate he starts from a high crouch. With a clean transfer his pop times ranged from 2.09-2.15, and he threw with 71 mph arm strength to second base. On the mound he goes with a slow tempo with choppy rhythm that creates some deception. Three pitch mix from a high-3/4 slot with his fastball sitting 73-75 mph. Curveball had an 11/5 shape and gradual break at 68-69 mph. Was able to keep fastball armspeed on his 69-72 mph changeup.

Toe tap with flat level swing and top exit velocity of 71 mph and ran a 7.72 60-yard dash. Ran a 7.63 60-yard dash. On the mound the solid righty has a slow tempo delivery and throw from a high-¾ slot with fastball sitting 67-70 mph.
