10/7/18 - Central Coast Open - 5-foot-8, 140-pounds, good frame on younger player, shaped well. Strong average run time during the 60 yd dash at 7.41 on slower surface. At the plate he utilizes a wider, balanced setup with even hands. The small load back allows him to create momentum before his hands go directly to the ball. The swing is compact and allows balanced weight transfer through the ball. Produced 75 MPH exit velocity from tee while focusing towards middle of field from BP. In the outfield he showed some growing arm speed (68 MPH) from a compact action that kept balls online with a small arm side run.

Pitching - Overhand slot, short backside arm action, maintained good direction down the slope. Calm head, short stride, decent body control, repeatable delivery. Fastball was straight (68-71 mph), best pitch was change-up that had some occasional cut action (61-62 mph), kept change-up down and threw with quality arm speed. Curveball spin was fair (60-63 mph), more extension and possibly more grip pressure would add spin and action to that pitch.
