January 3, 2017
Graduating Class: 2020
Position: C
School: JW Mitchell
Height: 5-11
Weight: 170
FL Rank: 1
National Rank: 6
Scouting Report: 09/17/16- Currently ranked No. 1 in the Florida 2020 Class, No. 6 Overall. The 5-foot-11, 170-pounder shows above average all around tools. Offensively, a calm and confident approach and big leg kick trigger keeps him on time and balanced throughout his swing. A slightly uphill path, his bat stays in the zone a long time with above average bat speed. A gap-to-gap approach led to consistent line drives and flashes of above average pull side power. Behind the plate, he shows the ability to both receive and block at an above average level, with strong wrists and athleticism. He could improve on the flexibility and setup lower, but that will come with more games caught. Also showed a good transfer and quick feet while staying under control with pop times that ranged from 1.9-2.1 seconds.
