Scouting Report
1/13/18 - 6-foot-1, 165-pound right-handed hitter starts from a square stance and utilizes a short, lift-and-replace stride to initiate his swing. Displayed a solid hip turn and an ability to create back spin with an 84 mph bat exit velocity. Ran a 6.85 60-yard dash and showcased 81 mph arm strength across the diamond with an over-the-top arm slot throwing motion. Plays through the baseball routinely and showed enough athleticism and projectable frame to play a number of defensive positions moving forward.
