6 foot, 160-pound frame with room to add strength. Hits from the right side with a balanced setup. Little to no stride during the load with quiet hands. Looks to stay in the middle of the field. Barrel works down to the ball with a high two hand finish. Some stiffness in the hands cause the barrel to get out of the zone to quickly. Exit velocity recorded at 78 mph and should improve with added strength. Higher setup behind the plate with his feet gaining ground on his throws to second base. Long arm action, throwing from a high ¾ slot with his arm topping at 66 mph. Some feel for the second base bag with pop times ranging from 2.37-2.44. Lower setup when receiving during bullpens with average hands. Recorded a 7.39 in the 60.
