6-foot-3, 195 pound right handed hitting 1st baseman.   Threw 73 mph across the infield. The feet were active and get into a good fielding position.  The glove is soft and he moves nicely through the ball into the throwing position.  The arm path is short long and clean. The bat has a tee exit velocity of 82 mph.  The set up is a wide base.  The load and stride are controlled.  The bat path is flat and gets through the zone.  He generates some loud contact.  Shows the ability for gap to gap power.  Showed well as a defender and as a potential power bat.  He’s a guy to keep an eye on moving forward.

6-foot-3, 195-pound right-handed pitcher and first baseman. On the mound, the fastball touched 80 mph. The spin pitch touched 74 mph, has a good shape to the pitch. The changeup is 73 mph, thrown with good hand speed. The delivery is online with his feet and the frame is projectable. The slot is above ¾ and short on the back half. The tracking of the front shoulder is offline and the heads move a bit during the release of the ball. The post foot is angled up on the rubber, causing forward lean. The lift is repeated, small recoil at release. The spin pitch is above average. Defensively, threw 78 mph across the infield and showed a soft glove. The athleticsm is there and the movements are clean. The bat has a tee exit velocity of 86 mph. The stance is athletic, hands work freely. Hits the ball very hard, long and strong to the ball. Comes off the ball a little as he gets into the swing, needs to stay direct and through the ball to tap into his power potential.
