8/1/17 6’4, 230-pound prospect. At the plate, the right-handed hitting prospect creates timing with his lower half through a small leg lift. Uses an easy back load with upper half. A strong kid who takes a slightly downhill path to the baseball. Has barrel feel and produced consistent backspin. Leveling out his path would allow him to create more consistent ball flight and let his well above average natural tools show. Profiles as a middle of the lineup bat moving forward. Behind the plate he starts in a lower crouch showing flexibility to his hips. Actions are fluid getting out of his stance. Mechanics are sound. Very fluid catch and throw guy all around. At first base he has the frame for the spot. Moves off the bag well with feel. Hands are soft and glove skills are well above average for the spot. Projects as an above average defender. 60-yard Dash: 8.3 Pop Time: 2.02-2.17 Catcher Velocity: 72 Infield Velocity: 71 Exit Velocity: 90
6/21/17 A right-handed hitter that starts in a balanced setup. Uses a short stride for timing. Hands move back to launch during forward movement. Path is slightly downhill with above average strength through contact. Bat speed is developing. Showed middle of the lineup potential. Behind the plate he starts in a mid crouch. Footwork is mechanically efficient and he looks comfortable with the transfer. Both have room to get quicker. Throws were consistently on the bag. A big, strong frame at first base. Moves well laterally for frame and glove is above average. Transfer showed quickness to it.
