The Preseason All-State will split into two days this year after a banner event in 2018 saw over 100 players descend on Virginia Sports Complex in Ruther Glen, Virginia to be seen by the PBR VA/DC staff. In the coming weeks, we will spotlight players that we are excited to see again at our biggest pre-season event.

Gets into his lower half well. Short load with quick foot pick up. Simple, repeats well, nice balance and shows some fluidity in swing. Short swing path at the plate with some extension through contact. Gets up hill finish. Shows ability to pull hands inside ball when needed. Shows some strength to the pull side and potential pop to that side down the road. Exit velocity of 90 mph. Receives ball well behind the dish. Presented nice target to pitcher. Clean and quick exchange with sound footwork on throws to second. Throws have carry on them to second up to 78 mph with a pop as low at 2.08. Solid overall prospect that will be a 2021 to follow.
