7/07/21

Maryland Top Prospect Games West

Body: 5’7’’, 185 pounds. Compact, thick frame with tangible strength throughout. 
Hit: RHH. Crouched even stance with rhythm in the hands at the shoulder; utilized a controlled leg lift stride to initiate the hands through a flat path with authority. Stayed relatively calm and repeatable in the swing, generating hard contact to the pull-side through the 5-6 hole. Could elevate at times into a high/deep finish yielding occasional extra-base hits. 
Power: 87 mph exit velocity during BP per TrackMan. Doubles when getting extended on pitches out over the plate, likes the pull-side to do damage. 
Arm: RH. C - 68 mph. Quick release and a fast, short H3/4 slot with accuracy on the bag. 
Defense: Pop times ranged 2.18 - 2.32. Got the foot in the ground with advanced directional footwork, clean exchange absorbing the ball into the throwing ear for a ready-to-go transfer. Can really play behind the dish; received well too with a soft glove hand. 
Run: 8.25 60-yard time.

Maryland Preseason All-State Session II

Body: 5’7’’, 185 pounds. Compact, strong frame. 
Hit: RHH. Balanced, even stance with the hands showing rhythm above the shoulder to start. Utilized a controlled toe tap stride to initiate the swing through a flat bath into the hitting zone. Short A to B direction in the stroke with ability to get on plane early in ball flight. Generated a 25% line drive rate during his batting practice round with a middle, LCF approach. Room to continue adding refinement as he matures. 
Power: 82 mph exit velocity during BP per TrackMan. Developing doubles power at the moment, hit on top of the ball at times on this date. 
Arm: RH. C - 65 mph. Short, high ¾ slot with a quick release. Accuracy on the bag. 
Defense: Pop times ranged 2.15-2.37. Replaced the feet well and got in line early after the catch, stayed medium with the posture coming up out of the crouch, solid releases with consistency on the bag. Soft glove hand when receiving from a traditional setup. 
Run: 8.35 60-yard time.
