8/2/16
6-foot, 186-pound athletic, strong frame. From behind the plate he uses adequate footwork to get himself squared up and in line before he throws to second base. Throws with a clean, short arm action through a high ¾ slot reaching a top velocity of 74 mph to help him reach pop times ranging from 2.03-2.20. The left-handed hitter starts his swing from a wide stance with his weight starting slightly more toward his back leg. Has a controlled, knee-high leg kick that he uses for added power. Has a short, fluid load with his hands moving just past his back shoulder. Showed the ability to use both sides of the field during his round of batting practice. Recorded a top exit velocity of 83 mph and ran a 4.44 home to first base time.

5-foot-11, 186-pound strong build. Very solid mechanically behind the plate. Could be quicker with his feet but does a nice job of squaring up to second base during his transfer to second base. Pop times ranged from 1.96-2.06, and threw with 73 mph arm strength. At the plate he starts in a wider setup before taking a short stride forward. Uses a bat tip to initiate his upper half and get extra whip through the zone. Has good rhythm to his entire swing sequence. Registered an exit velocity 79 mph and ran a 4.9 from home to first.

1/31/16
5-foot-11, 183-pound strong build. At the plate the lefty has some fluidity to his load and was able to consistently find the barrel during batting practice. Takes an uphill path to the ball with some bat speed producing an exit velocity of 80 mph. Would really benefit from transferring some of that weight of his back foot into contact. Ran a 4.70 from home to first. Very solid behind the plate. Starts in an athletic crouch and has quickness to his footwork and transfer. Pop times ranged from 2.03-2.09 and he threw with 73 mph arm strength to second base. 

10/26/14
5-foot-10, 165-pound average build. From behind the plate he needs to get his feet in line better, but shows a good exchange. Showed pop times from 2.19-2.30 and 69 mph arm strength. Left-handed hitter that starts in a good athletic stance with high hands and a leg kick to load. Uses a short compact swing with top exit velocity of 76 mph and ran a 7.81 60-yard dash.

5-foot-10, 155-pound prospect. From the crouch, he reached a top velocity of 63 mph. Pop times ranged between 2.39 to 2.48. Has a bit of a pause in his back arm action and some length to his transfer. At the plate, the left-handed hitter starts with high hands in a wide stance. Takes an uphill path to the ball that creates line drive contact with some lift. Showed inside/out tendencies in his swing.
