5-foot-10, 140-pound, average athletic frame, wiry strength with twitchy actions with hands. A right-handed hitting infielder, at the plate, slightly open, wider setup, hands are relaxed and loose at the shoulders. The swing is down to level to up, showed the ability to get the baseball to all fields. Finishing higher with two-hands, gets loft to the baseball. Took a solid round of batting practice, had an exit velocity of 74 mph and ran a 8.01 sixty-yard dash. The hands and swing work with easy effort. Defensively, clean prep steps, fielding out front, wider feet could get into a more athletic position. The flow and actions are smooth, moving well to glove side. The arm action is longer, from a 3/4 slot, clocked at 66 mph. Added strength is a must will aid in his development.
