10/4/17- Committed to Eckerd College

11/12/16- The 5-foot-11, 170-pound SS/3B has a strong and stocky frame. Offensively, the right handed hitter has a bit of a hitch in his load dropping his hands in his trigger. Even with this he is able to create a quality path through the zone generating above average bat speed and present pull power with more to come. There is a lot of movement in the swing, but there is present feel for the barrel and above average power especially for his size that makes him very interesting. Defensively, he showed somewhat stiff actions, but the hands worked well out in front of his body with a solid arm. He may need to slide to second or the outfield at the next level, but the bat should play.

8/13/16- Stocky, 5-foot-11 170 pounder that had a double and drew a walk after driving a long foul home run on day one while adding another base hit on day two. He has an early, somewhat stiff, load but manages to stay in rhythm and on time to the baseball. He showed quick hands and a consistently short, direct swing to the baseball while utilizing a strong lower half. Fastball ranged from 82-84 mph, came out of the hand well. Got on hitters quickly. Off speed needs to develop, showed a little feel for a slider at 71 mph but was more like a cutter. Has the body and arm speed to add velocity moving forward. Showed the ability to make the plays with a strong, accurate throw from third base during infield/outfield.

3/3/16- Lean and athletic body with strength and quick twitch actions. Short, quick swing at the plate with a flat plane through the zone. Strong hands and wrists and shows good bat speed. The ball really jumps off his bat for his size and he looks like an average to above average runner.

10/9/15- Strong and athletic frame with live actions. Good base at the plate and gets a hand trigger for his load. Stays balanced throughout his swing and has a line drive approach with a flat swing.
