Swing Mechanics: Upright setup with a vertical barrel launch.

Hit: Swing works. Level path with physicality to hands. All fields approach,

Power: Line drive pop.

Offensive Projection: Multiple roles.

Field: Worked out at third base where he plays under control throughout sequence. Hands are softer and ball skills appear to be on par for class.

Throw: High-3/4 righty that is an accurate thrower with more strength to come.

Defensive Projection: 3B.

Mechanical/Delivery Notes: Works exclusively from the stretch. Consistent tempo, very easy delivery. Arm works through a near over the top slot.

Fastball: 1600-1800 spin rate guy with high 90s spin efficiency. 67-69 mph.

Curveball: 11/5 big shaped offering with gradual action. Tossed the pith in the zone frequently.

Pitchability: Strike thrower.

A righty swinger that starts in an open setup. Bat lays flight prior to moving to a vertical launch position throughout loading sequence. Creates a solid stretch between lower half and upper half, allowing him to accelerate body at swing decision. Takes a downhill path to the baseball and makes contact off his front foot. Bat has some whip and he generates consistent line drives. In the infield he moves with fluidity, taking direct routes to the baseball. Fields in the middle of his body and plays low through the baseball. Would be aided by creating more efficient angles in pre fielding footwork to maintain momentum as he plays through the baseball. On the mound he looks athletic and has an uptempo delivery. Arm is very loose and works through a high-¾ slot. Expect velocity to continue to rise as he matures. Fastball gets out of his hand well at 71-73 mph. Spins a tight, 11/5 shaped breaking ball and he is able to maintain arm speed.

On the mound, the right handed pitcher features a loose arm through a high ¾ slot. Tempo to delivery is smooth as he creates added power sufficiently using his lower half. Fastball sits between 65-69 mph. Breaking ball displays some sharp 11/5 movement at 55-57 mph. Also mixes in a 61-64 mph changeup with good fastball arm speed. At the plate he uses a toe turn to get his lower half initiated. Stays fluid throughout his loading sequence. Barrel starts vertical prior to taking a level path to the ball. A contact type guy that consistently found the barrel in batting practice. Plays under control in the infield. Actions are fluid and he does a nice job of playing low. Tends to play from heel on plays in his funnel. Made all the plays in his defensive eval.
