6/12/22

Bay Area World Series 2022 - Uncommitted; Compact build with strength on an average size frame, one of top overall performers at BAWS 2022, went 3-for-7 (2B, 2 1B, L8) with quality at-bats seemingly each plate appearance, ran 7.25 60-yd and threw max 77 mph across the diamond, fun to watch him on defense with his light feet and bouncy actions, has soft hands and a quick release, capable for certain at SS though the raw arm strength fits best at 2B, 90.5 mph max EV, 40% sweet spot % and 30% line drives, good baseball player, will play beyond the HS level.

9/11/21

Power: 85 max exit velocity, 68.2 max bat speed, 17.8 max hand speed.
Arm: RH. SS - 77 mph. Easy flip throwing action, low slot, confident thrower, gets out quickly and underway, adjustable to arm angles.
