Scouting Report

08/20/17- Continues to get better and better. He is athletic and will be an above average defender. Where he really stands out is offensively. The left handed hitter is balanced and hits with rhythm and seems to consistently be on time. This translates to games where he has an advanced approach and feel for the barrel. High follow

06/21/17 - Currently stands at 5-foot-9, 155 pounds the left handed hitting infielder showed great athleticism in the field and at the plate. Hands worked very well in his swing and stayed on plane throughout. Would occasionally collapse on his back side but for the most part, showed consistent strong solid contact with an controlled aggressive swing, staying strong in his legs. Defensively, the actions really work at short. He has a quick first step with rangy actions. The hands work well out in front of his body and he showed a feel for the position during the game. Projects to be an above average defender with above average bat to ball skills and gap-to-gap power.
