Scouting Report

Physical: Imposing 6-foot-4, 250 Lb frame.

Offensively: The switch hitter is balanced throughout with a short stroke from both sides of the plate. The swing from the right side is direct with line drive results from the right-center gap to the the pull-side foul line. The lefty stroke is fluid with natural lift and power through the middle and pull side. Blast motion metrics point to dynamic power potential at the next level. 

Defensively: Athletic actions around the bag at first base with a soft glove hand, active feet, and 76 mph arm strength across the diamond.
