6-foot-2, 165-pound, longer, lean athletic frame, wider back, broad shoulders, with room for added weight gains. A two-way player, showed very well on both sides of the field. At the plate, balanced setup hands at the shoulders, smooth smaller leg kick, gaining ground. The swing is smooth, a level to up path, middle to pull side approach. Shows that natural left-handed swing. The exit velocity was clocked at 86 mph, will need to add strength to the swing. Defensively, the glove is very soft around the bag at first base. The footwork is accurate on double play starts. The arm action is smooth, working from a natural slot, clocked at 73 mph. Off the mound, simple, repeatable delivery from the set position, longer inline stride, softer landing. The arm works with minimal effort, clean and free from a higher 3/4 slot. The fastball touched 74 mph, located to both sides. Fading changeup at 68-69 mph, arm side action. Bigger curveball at 65 mph. A three pitch mixer, good looking two-way player.
