Offensively, hits from a tall, relaxed setup, lower hand set, fast, athletic hands, generates advanced bat speed; shows power potential, inconsistent swing path. Registered 97 mph exit velocity with wood, and tested an event-best Trigger-to-Impact time (138 milliseconds), which measures the amount of time elapsed from the start of the bat motion until moment of impact. Defensively, fired consistent strikes to second base with pop times ranging between 1.91-2.01. Quick out the chute, over-the-top slot, clocked at 76 mph from the crouch.
