North Carolina State commit.  Lanky, rangy frame, listed at 6-foot-4, 185 pounds.  Athletic on the bump with a long arm swing to an over-the-top slot at 87-89.  Downer breaking ball, with some misses to the arm side, sitting 74-76.  Slider is hard and late at 77-79.  Flashed one change-up at 81.  Works on-line, landing with the toe slightly closed and some effort from the foot strike to the release.  Has arm speed, but the hard landing causes some release issues.  At shortstop, smooth actions and good hands.  Rhythm in the feet.  Awkward transition and fights for is slot and carry at times showing average accuracy.  Right handed hitter has some thump.  Tall and loose in the box.  Simple setup and approach.  Works with some uphill leverage.  Ran a 7.44 sixty.

Lean athletic build.  Ran a 7.36 on a soft, wet track at State Games workout.  Some quickness in the swing.  Long levers create some length in the swing.  Average feet and hands on the infield.  Long arm action works to a high-3/4 slot.   Loose with accuracy and easy carry.

Lean, loose, and projectable.  Listed at 6-foot-3, 165 pounds, the righty has plenty of room to fill out.  Arm works with a long, loose arm swing to a high-3/4 slot.  The lower half loads at balance, creating some torque through the mid-section.  Fastball worked up to 85.  Ceiling looks to be high in the future.
