Scouting Report

2-26-17

6-foot-4, 190-pound right hand hitting OF who ran a 4.15 home to first.  At the plate he is slightly open and balanced.  Uses a small stride to come square and hands load quickly on the pitch.  He showed good leg drive on the swing and finished on a strong front side.  Swing path is level through the zone and during the live round did a nice job of living in the middle of the field.  Exit velocity was 87 MPH.  In the field he moves well to the ball.  He showed smooth fielding actions and quick hands on the transfer.  He delivers from a high ¾ arm slot and showed good accuracy to the bag.  Arm velocity was 78 MPH for this event.
