Scouting Report
08/20/17- Big, strong, frame. There is some length in the swing, but he has long levers and has present left handed power. He has quality bat-to-ball skills and creates natural loft and will have a chance to hit for power at the next level.
8/29/15- 6-foot-2, 185 pounds with a tall, athletic, strong, and projectable frame. Gets a separation and hand trigger for his load. Nice swing plane, good bat speed, and the ball jumps off his bat. More to come with maturity. Next level talent.
