3/15/23

Purdue commit. Currently the No. 37 ranked player in IL. Listed at a strong-bodied, 6-foot-1, 200-pounds with a strong lower-half. Impressed at the plate with numerous quality at-bats throughout the day against premium velocity. The left-handed hitter starts in a stock setup, moving with a quick leg-lift and minimal hand-load to remain on-time for velocity - sitting back on an 88 mph fastball on the outer half and shooting it the other way for an RBI single. He showed a keen eye at the plate, walking in his first at-bat on the day and rarely chasing out of the zone. He finished the day 2-for-2 with an RBI. High-level left-handed bat within the state’s 2023 class.
