The 5-foot-10, 150 pound right-handed hitting infielder is a talented young athlete! Offensively, he had a tee exit velocity of 83 mph.  The stance begins balanced and square.  There is a minimal load.  The hands do move into a good launch position.  However, he needs to work on getting a little more weight to the backside.  That being said, I love the way the ball jumps off his bat!  The path is short and direct through contact.

Defensively, the actions are athletic.  The feet move well as he works to get into the fielding position.  As he fields, the glove is soft and hands work well.  He moves nicely through the ball, into an athletic throwing position.  The arm is loose and was an impressive 75 mph across the diamond.

Off the mound, I liked the fluidity of his arm!  I think he will continue to add velocity.  The delivery is controlled and simple, which allows the arm to work.  He stays in line with the target and gets down the mound well.  He only featured a fastball, but it was impressive, sitting 71-74 mph.

This is an athletic young player on both sides of the ball already!  I like how the ball jumps off the bat, the actions in the middle are advanced arm the arm talent on the mound is evident.

Tee Exit Velocity- 83 mph

INF Velocity- 75 mph
