6-foot-1, 185 pounds. Bats and throws right. Hands start high an back. Has a nice compact swing and goes to the opposite field well. Was explosive on contact. Gap to gap hitter. Has a solid exit velocity of 87 mph. In the outfield throws from a low 3/4 arm slot. Would like to see him get elbow up more. Threw 79 mph from outfield. Ran a 7.22 60. Has potential on the mound.  Square to the plate on delivery from same arm slot. Could use legs a litte more to generate more. Doesn't always come to a full balance point, but big frame and strong legs show potential. Fastball sat at 75-77 mph with a 65 mph change. Was name most raw 2017 talent at the event.
