Positional Profile: RHP/SS Body: 6’3”, 155 pounds. Long, lanky, athletic, projectable frame. Hit: RHH. Hits from a tall, balanced, open stance at the plate. High leg kick load with good hand separation. Short to the ball with a level swing path. Showed quick hands and bat speed through the zone. Swings with intent and stays behind the ball well. Generates strong lower half involvement and gets great extension through and past contact finishing strong with two hands. Maintains good balance throughout with a quiet head. Middle to pull side approach and squared up several balls during BP. Power: 82 mph exit velocity from the tee. Present power to the alleys with even more projected as he fills out. Ball jumps off the bat. Arm: RH, INF - 80 mph. Throws with short arm action from a mid three-quarter slot. Defense: Works through the ball with a controlled approach. Fields the ball out in front funneling quickly to the belt. Clean exchange and showed some range. Run: 4.57 home-to-first time.
Delivery: Starts with a small, side rocker step wind up into a chest high balance point. Delivery is somewhat whippy as deception is evident. Use his bottom half well and generates solid torque from it. Glove separation is solid and balanced. Constantly landed in-line with his target and showed athleticism in his follow through. Arm Action: RH. Throws downhill out of a mid-high three-quarter arm slot. FB: T84 mph, 82-83 mph. Displayed cut action out of his hand. CB: 72-74 mph. Tight, 11/5 shape. CH: 74-76 mph. Arm-side fade was shown.

MD Preseason All State
Long thin projectable frame at 6-foot-2, 145-pounds. Athletic stance starting open with a pronounced leg kick and landing slightly closed at stride. Hands load back to a slight arm bar. Swing has a level path with a slightly uphill finish and showed some bat speed getting through the zone. Lower half explodes to finish and exit velocity was 79 mph. Feet were active and took more of a direct approach to the ball in the infield. Funneled catch to a clean exchange with a rhythm tap. Short arm action with average arm speed throwing from a three-quarter slot at 69 mph. Ran a 4.71 home-to-first time. Delivery had some pace and rhythm starting with a short simple rocker step. Repeatable mechanics with a consistent balance point and shoulders elevated moving down the mound and lands slightly closed. Arm action was long but fluid and showed some arm speed throwing from a three-quarter arm slot. Displayed some arm side run with the fastball at 76-77 mph and topped at 80 mph. Did not have a feel for the curveball on the day, as it pushed out the back of the hand at 65-68 mph. Changeup was a very solid secondary pitch with some swing and miss potential to it. Present arm speed on the pitch with late hard fade to it at 69-70 mph.
