Two shot potential. This 5-foot-10, 160-pound player currently projects best as an offensive 3B/2B type on next level. Ran a good 5.04 40 yard on concrete. Solid infield skills with good feet and hands. Showed good range with a solid 77 mph arm from all angles. The right-handed bat shows potential with good hand load and bat speed (79 mph) into the zone. His power projection will come with added physical strength and enhancement of lower body torque. On the hill, he has 3/4 moderate arm with 77-78 fastball.

Good raw skills (5.18 40 yd with 4 grade arm). Has good infield actions with quick feet and hands. Tends to throw from low 3/4 slot; needs to show over the top slot ability. As a hitter, he has knee step trigger. Needs to improve use of lower half. Shows bat speed and decent directional path with pull tendencies. On the mound, he shows a feel for all three pitches, but needs to get stronger on velocities. Fastball (77-79 mph with some arm side run); curveball (63-64 mph with late 11/5 break); and good arm action and fade on change (65 mph).
