Displayed active feet defensively with a soft glove hand and improved 75 mph arm strength across the diamond. The righty sat 71-73 on the mound from a 3/4 arm slot with an easy, fluid delivery. Also showed a 62 mph curveball with solid 11/5 rotation and a 69 mph changeup at fastball arm speed.

5-foot-7, 115-pound right-handed hitter starts from a square stance and utilizes a leg lift  stride to initiate his swing. Displayed the ability to routinely barrel the baseball with a bat exit velocity of 64 mph. Showcased a flat barrel path with some length to his swing. Defensively the current 7th grade prospect showcased accurate 64 mph arm strength across the diamond from first base with a soft glove hand and solid foot work. The two-way prospect sat 61-64 on the mound out of a high 3/4 arm slot with some hook in the back while also commanding a 60 mph changeup thrown with similar arm speed.
