Scouting Report: 6-foot-3, 185-pound athletic body frame, plenty of room to fill out. A right-handed hitter, the stance is slightly open, a little wider than shoulder width. The hands are set just off the shoulder, angle of the bat is in good hitting position. The hands stay back, gets a small arm-bar in the start of swing and he uses a small dent knee for stride and timing. The path is level to up, creates good leverage in swing, hands are very strong and shows good bat speed. The tee exit velocity was 85, with a more in there, middle of the field approach. Defensively, showed good prep steps in the outfield, attacked well and fielded ball out front. The transfer is clean, takes too many steps, needs to step through and gain ground. The arm action is short on the back side and has some hand speed out front on release. Clocked at 75, throws were down hill and gave the catcher something to handle. Off the mound this left-hander, works out of a ¾ slot, fastball was 72-75 with some life to arm side. The change up is a plus pitch, had proper spin and fade and was thrown at 67-70. Threw both curveball at 60-62 and a slider at 66-69, had some depth to slider. Projects out to have plus power down the road. Ran a 4.19, had a good kick, legs are above average.
