Scouting Report
5’11, 180 lbs with present strength and athletic frame. Corner INF profile. At 3B, shows smooth, steady tempo with methodical footwork through the play. Stays behind the ball then comes through with a soft glove hand and low hip hinge to stay over the baseball. Glove tap exchange with ¾ release. High, tight arm action. Offensively sets up with a wider, balanced stance and direct alignment towards pitcher. Hands start below rear shoulder with a slight scoop to load as they sync up with low leg lift. Lands with tension through his core while weight stays centered. Hands stay inside of the ball with a short path to contact. Gap to gap type power with most lift coming to pull-side.
