A right-handed hitter that starts in a tall, athletic setup. Swing is fluid with well timed movements. Path is level with some natural loft. A strong kid with well-above average bat speed. Ball gets off his bat well, especially to his pull side. An aggressive hitter that swings with the intent to do damage. In the infield he uses fluid, mechanically sound footwork. Glove skills are above average at this stage. Does a nice job of playing low. Overall an above average defender.

5-foot-8, 155-pound prospect. A right-handed hitter that creates impressive energy with well timed movements in his loading sequence. Has solid bat speed through the zone. Gap to gap type guy who was at his best to the opposite field. Would like to see him get his weight off his back leg to level out his path and produce more consistent backspin. In the infield, he starts with his feet outside of shoulder width. Would like to see him start in more athletic stance. Still, he shows good range to both side and the ability to throw from different slots. Throws had carry when he needed it. Overall solid defensively and should be able to stay on the left side at the next level.

In the infield he uses efficient footwork prior to fielding. Plays through the ball well and glove skills are well above average. A solid all-around infielder. A right-handed hitter with a very aggressive approach at the plate. Doesn’t get cheated on any of his swings. Creates energy through a leg kick load. Strength and bat speed are above average. Ball comes of his bat well. Would see an easy increase in pop and level out his path if he gets weight off backside prior to contact.
