Committed to Florida International out of Chipola JC (FL). 

5/28/16- Florida International commit who stands at 6-foot, 215 pounds with a strong, thick, and stalky frame. He is ranked 30^th in Florida and 118^th overall. He is one of the top power bats in the state and really had an excellent showing at FACA as he was the MVP of the South team. He has the hands and arm strength to stay behind the plate but he will need to work on his footwork and staying in shape. Offensively, he has great bat speed with a slight upper cut and consistently makes loud contact. He gets a great separation for his load and can drive the ball out of the park at any time. He homered to left-center field in the FACA game and has proven to be able to drive quality pitching on a consistent basis.

5/14/16- Florida International commit who stands at 6-foot, 215 pounds with a strong, stalky, and thick frame. He is ranked 30^th in Florida and 118^th overall. At the plate he is way open in his stance, drops his hands when he loads, and has a hand trigger. Because he drops his hands, he launches from a lower slot which naturally gives him a slight uppercut. Very good bat speed and he has advanced power. He is one of the better power hitters in the state. He looks to pull and lift the ball but he consistently makes hard contact. He caught against Bishop Verot in the state championship and showed a quick transfer with enough arm to stay behind the plate but he would have to work in his footwork if he wants to play there at the next level. He needs to work on making his feet quicker and lighter, if not, will likely end up at first base.

5/13/16- FIU recruit. Currently ranked No. 30 in the 2016 Florida class, No. 118 overall. Physical, thick build on a 6-foot, 215 pound frame with a strong lower half. Open stance with a high hand set that is balanced in the box. Aggressive with a quick bat that has some loft in his swing with the ability to drive the ball with authority. Makes hard, solid contact consistently.

1/10/15 FTB tryout - blocky, strong body that is still agile and athletic. Good feet and hands at 3B with good arm strength. Aggressive approach at the plate with a strong lower half that he uses well. The ball jumps off his bat. Good bat speed and hand strength. Stays inside the ball well. Shows above avg ML power to all
fields.
