6/12/18: Left handed hitting 2020 MIF. Showed good presence and approach in the box. Good feel for the barrel using all parts of the field with line drive type. Good rhythm in swing and stays balanced throughout swing. Good bat speed for 2020. In the field displayed good athletic actions up the middle. Footwork and exchange were good, soft hands as well. Average arm across the diamond but should improve with strength. Interesting to follow as he progresses.
4/12/18 Spring Scout Blog: 6-foot, 160 pound sophomore starting shortstop hit second in the order from the left side, ran 4.26 and 4.35 down the line on two balls put in play. Athletic defender, defensive skills are ahead of the bat currently, plays downhill with twitchy actions to the baseball. Active, fluid feet, plays well through the baseball, hands are quick, clean exchange to turn the double play. Long OT arm action across the diamond, short stride to throw, lower half limited, average arm strength. Advanced infielder for age, projects as second baseman at next level, more arm strength to stay on left side. Short swing from the left side, line drive spray approach at the plate. Balanced setup, uses short quick leg lift to load and stride, small movements. Short hand path to the baseball, partial lower half. More length and separation needed in swing. Top prospect in the 2020 class.
2/24/18: 6-foot, 162 pound shortstop has athletic actions up the middle. Fluid, bouncy footwork with ability to play through the ball. Long arm action, high 3/4 slot. Throws topped 80 across the infield. Hits from a balanced, open setup. Short stride, partial rotation. Above average balance throughout swing. Level, long path. Line drives to all fields in his round. High exit velocity of 83. Will continue to improve if he gets stronger.
6/3/17: 6-foot, 152 pound shortstop has fluid movements with plenty of room to fill in physically. Hands load back, slight leg kick. Repeatable uphill swing path with line drive approach. Defensively, hands are smooth with a quick transfer. Plays through the ball. Athletic movements, above average arm strength for age. Follow in 2020 class.
