6-foot-2, 170-pound right-handed hitting corner infielder. The bat stood out for me at the event. The exit velocity was 88 mph as the hands work freely. The setup is wide in base and he takes a small step to the baseball as it enters the hitting zone. The finish showed a 1-handed release after contact with the baseball. The approach in the infield needs to active the feet to work through the baseball as he fields it. The arm is clean and he threw 73 mph across the diamond at the event. The glove showed to be reliable. 

Exit Velocity- 88 mph

INF Velocity- 73 mph
