Scouting Report

Athletic at 5-foot-10, 170 pounds.  Dual follow with a good stroke from the left side, producing exit velocity at 86mph.  On the bump, athletic delivery that builds pace. Short arm action to a high-3/4 slot.  Fastball at 80-83 with ride and run.  Breaking ball has gradual shape at 66-68.  Showed solid feel for the zone. Setup to make jumps easily as he continues to add strength and size to his frame. 

Young frame with room for maturation ahead at 5-foot-11, 155-pounds. Solid actions on the infield with his arm topping at 87 mph across the diamond. Fluid swing with quickness to his hands. Barrel stays through the ball with a live drive approach working through the middle and to the opposite field.
