Scouting Report
03/22/17 - The athletic, plus fielding infielder was playing third this evening and looked every bit the part. He made multiple impressive plays and shows range and a plus arm. He has shown the ability at past events to be an above average with plus potential defender at short and would expect him to slide over when Villamen graduates. Offensively, the swing and path have always worked, but seemed a bit light in the past. He seems to have put on some strength and the ball jumped off of the barrel. Overall, he can really pick the baseball and looks to stay at short while also continuing to improve and projects offensively as well.
9/17/16 - The 6-foot, 155 pound shortstop showed extremely good footwork and smooth actions. He showed soft hands with a very quick first step and the ability to make all of the plays at a premiere position. His arm has potential to play from the left side and will continue to improve based on his frame and athleticism. At the plate, the right handed hitter has some quick twitch actions with a level swing path through the zone. He would get a little long at times, but consistently found the barrel both in batting practice and the games. As he continues to get strong and log more at-bats, the swing should become shorter and lend to gap-to-gap power as his frame is athletic and projectable with plenty of room to fill out. Expect him to be a high end talent, especially as the bat continues to progress. He has the makeup to be a very high end defensive shortstop in his future.
