Physical: Lean, twitchy 5-foot-10, 150lb frame with athleticism. Molloy College commit ran a 7.52 60-yard dash.
Offensively: RHH - Taller, narrow stance just inside shoulder-width as the hands operated in controlled rhythm to start. Utilized a toe tap stride to initiate the bat head through a flat, upper half oriented path into the hitting zone. Notched a 50% line drive rate with ability to match pitch-plane early in ball flight with quality bat to ball skills. Hit the ball flush to all fields with a short, direct swing that plays vs. velocity. Added a T86 mph bat-exit velocity and near 320 foot batted ball distance en route to occasional doubles power to the LCF gap and a top of the order type skillset.
Defensively: The shortstop featured solid posture, working over the front side with an accurate glove hand to the baseball. Funneled smoothly at his waist, exchanging to the throwing ear, and releasing at a H ¾ slot across the diamond (84 mph arm). Feel on the move evident, able to maintain balance and posture when throwing on the run.
Pitching: RHP - Began from the left side of the rubber, holding pace and landing slightly offset with crossfire from a H ¾ slot. The FB was deceptive at 79-82 mph for strikes, featuring a sweeping 65-67 mph CB at T17 inches HM and a short fading 66-69 mph CH to the arm-side.
