6 feet 4, 190-pound lanky, athletic build. Frame catches the eye and should continue to add quickness and strength.  Offensively he works from the right side using a balanced setup with a smooth load and long stride. Fluid swing, with an explosive lower half that generates above average bat speed. Works mostly middle to pull side with his barrel level through the zone.  Attempts to create some leverage through the ball.  Shows the ability to barrel the ball during BP with plenty of power potential. Exit velocity recorded at 89 mph. Athletically plays through balls in the outfield with fluid feet and soft hands. Clean exchanges with a long arm action, throwing from a high ¾ slot. Accurate arm with carry to his throws topping at 85 mph. Swing is long in game, but the power potential is hard to ignore and will only get better as his athletic projectable body fills out. Recorded a 7.21 60-yard dash.

Lanky, athletic build, standing 6-foot-4, 185 pounds.  Athleticism and projection exists.  Frame can continue to add strength as it matures.  Ran a 4.32 thirty yard dash and a 4.27 5-10-5 agility shuttle.  Impressive 9’7” standing broad jump.  Arm has strength from the outfield with easy carry.  Plays through the ball, clean exchange to a long arm swing and high-3/4 slot.  Accurate at 85 mph out of the hand from the position.  Right handed hitter works from a tall, narrow base, open, using an aggressive stride.  Pull tendency, working with uphill leverage, occasionally in and out of the zone quickly.  Active backside that can over-rotate as it works to generate bat speed.  Tends to glide to the front side.  Average bat speed and barrel awareness.  Intriguing prospect as bat control improves with strength.  Exit velocity peaked at 86 off the barrel. 
On the mound, works level, landing square.  Stretch only.  Sets with the left foot slightly behind the right.  Average leg kick with looseness in the hips.  Long arm swing begins with a slight hook out of the glove and the elbow works above the shoulder line.  Some effort getting to the high-3/4 slot.  Front side clears early at times.  Improved command as the pen lengthened and he found rhythm.  Fastball works easy at 78-80, with run.  Change-up sits 70-75, deceptive hand speed, flashing occasional arm side run.  Around the zone but lacked glove command.  Breaking ball rolled at 69-70 with 10/4 arc.  Found the zone with spin as he threw more.

Lanky build with plenty of projection left as strength is added to the 6-foot-3, 175 pound frame.  Ran a 7.57 sixty but shows a better burst off the line.  Right handed hitter recorded an exit velocity of 87 mph off the barrel working from a tall, open stance.  Uses a leg kick to shift the weight back and getting to a short stride.  Vertical bat head with better than average bat speed.  Loose and flat through the zone, there is hand strength present.  Works for extension, with good rhythm, working gap-to-gap.  Fluid in the outfield, works to play through balls with a clean transition.  Loose, over-the-top slot shows some accuracy at 78 mph from the position.
High leg kick and a front side glove that points through the line from the right side on the mound.  Fastball ranged 74-76, touching 77.  Good arm side command with late run on the ball.  Lacks some consistency on a breaking ball sitting 66-67.  Gradual arc along a 11/5 or 10/4 path.  Shows a feel for his line and is around the zone.  The change-up comes out of a slower arm at 63-65.  Again, around the zone, lacking command.  Long arm action works to a high-3/4 slot with some effort.  Works level and on-line with some rhythm to the delivery.
