Scouting Report
9/23/17 - 60 Time: 7.51, Position Velocity: IF-81, Exit Velocity: 98
6-foot-3, 208-pound LHH starts upright and open and uses a more aggressive stride, quick and loose hands, really looks to attack and drive the baseball, flashes big pull-side power, has ability to drive the ball the other way to the left-center gap. Premium bat speed makes him one of the top power left-handed bats in the 2019 class. Moves well at first base to go along with soft hands. Arm strength could also play in the outfield as well.
