5-foot-9, 150-pound right hand hitting OF/RHP who ran a 6.93 laser timed 60. Athletic open stance at the plate with hands relaxed and show some flow. Hands load back with some rhythm and uses a small toe tap to stride landing on line. Bat gets on plane early and stays through the hitting zone. Good use of the lower half and finishes it completely with some balance. Exit velo was 76 mph off the live pitch. Works behind the ball on defense with active feet on approach. Exchange is clean and moves to a longer arm circle throwing from a three-quarter arm slot at 75 mph. Stretch pitcher with hands held high at balance.
