Strong, athletic frame.  Starts squared on the rubber. Small rocker step into regular lift. Delivery has some effort to it. Fastball shows occasional arm side run at 80-83 mph. Breaking ball has big 12/6 break. Consistently in the zone and throws it with confidence at 65-66 mph. Changeup showed some arm side fade at 67-68 mph. Showed the ability to throw it with near fastball arm speed. At third base he exerted solid intent behind each action performed. His hands were soft and comes through the ball well while getting rid of it quickly. Throwing velocity was 78 mph across the diamond. A righty swinger that starts in a balanced setup. Loading sequence is fluid, incorporating a back load with hands during leg kick timing trigger. Barrel gets through the zone quickly showing more strength than speed to his hands at this stage. Generated impressive pop and consistent backspin to the middle of the field. A gap to gap type with more in there as batspeed catches up to strength. Tools at the plate translate to the next level.
60-yard dash: 7.41
Infield Velocity: 78
Exit Velocity: 86
