6-foot-3, 197-pounds right-handed hitting first baseman and outfielder, long, strong frame with much more strength to come as he continues to physically develop. Offensively, starts upright in a narrow, open stance, strides long with a smooth hand load back, good balance at contact. A predominantly pull hitter, strong hands/wrists maintain above average barrel speed through contact, elevates the ball and drives it with force, even on mishits the ball comes off his bat hot due to his overall strength. Hunts pitches middle/in and lets the barrel fly, gets into his lower half well. Has shown time and time again that his ability to hit is just as good as the power he possesses in his bat, barreling up pitches against any level of pitching.

10/10/19

Physical, athletic frame at 6 foot 3, 197-pounds.  Posted the highest exit velocity on the night at 97 mph. Hits from the right side with a tall, slightly open setup.  Loads against his back leg with a small leg kick, gliding into the ball.  Quiet barrel during the load with quickness to his hands through the zone.  Drives the ball middle to his pull side with strength. Uphill path looking to lift the ball pulling off at times causing him to lose his barrel. Above average bat speed.  Works to the ball in the outfield.  Average hands, using a crow hop to get momentum into his throws with a longer exchange. Accurate arm that topped at 84 mph.  Recorded a 7.35 in the 60.

On the mound, right-handed pitcher, slight drop and drive delivery, online and lands front-toe closed. Short arm action, high ¾ slot. Fastball, occasional arm-side-run, sat 80-81 mph, touched 82.

Gap-to-gap hitter, hands work loosely, natural lift to swing, posted a 91 mph exit velocity. Using a wood bat, went 2-for-7 with a triple and single, two RBI, two runs scored, two hit-by-pitch. On the basepath, disrupted pitcher’s timing, stole multiple bases, timing the pitcher up and getting excellent jumps. Defensively, sure-handed, clean footwork and exchanges, makes everything look routine. Short arm action, out of a ¾ to low ¾ slot, 78 across the infield. On the mound, stretch only, short arm action out of a ¾ slot, gets out front quickly. Fastball, two-seam action, armside-run, sat 77-79, touched 81. Curveball, 11/5 shape, depth, 62-63.
