Scouting Report

6.14.17 - Drafted in the 14th round by the St. Louis Cardinals. 

5.31.17 - Illinois State commit. 6-foot, 193-pound, strong, athletically built, infielder. Continues to solidify himself as one of the top position players in Illinois. Offensively, the right-handed hitter has had a torrid spring. Finished the game, 3-for-4 with a run scored and the game-winning RBI single. Takes competitive at-bats, has a plan, looks to use the middle of the diamond and attacks any pitch up and out over the plate. Bat stays flat through the hitting zone, has feel for the barrel and gets extension through contact. Defensively, smooth, confident, athletic actions and a strong arm across the diamond. 2017 draft follow.
