The hands and weight get back into a good hitting position, has small leg kick and stride gains a little ground. The swing is flat through the zone, the barrel stays in the zone a long time, sprays the ball to all fields. The tee exit velocity was 81 mph and ran a 4.72, in game performance was good collected a single. Defensively, has a good setup behind the plate, balance and flexible. The feet have quickness to them, the transfer is quick. Pop times were 2.10-2.13, throws were close or on the bag. The arm was clocked at 70 mph from the chute. The frontside could get closed down more, opens early and arm lags at times. A left-handed hitter who sprays it to all fields, needs strength.

On release, he needs to stay through it longer and not cut it off at end. Good looking kid, much more to come with this one.
