5/31/17 A fluid swinger from the right side. Uses a leg kick to initiate loading sequence while taking hands to launch. Creates solid separation through his loading sequence. Consistently found the barrel in batting practice, flashing gap to gap pop. Very mechanically sound at third base. Plays low and under control. Glove skills are there. Would like to see him get rid of the ball quicker. Threw with accuracy across the infield. Obvious feel for the position. On the mound the right-hander has a slower pace tempo to a delivery he is able to repeat. Stays tall at balance point and lands slightly closed at foot strike. Arm action is longer with average arm speed. Works through a near over the top slot with his fastball sitting 76-80 mph. Fastball works downhill with slight run at times. Spins a 12/6 shaped breaking ball that had gradual break at 59-62 mph. Pitch was much sharper when it was down in the zone. Needs to be in the zone more consistently.

5/31/16 6-foot, 200-pound athletic build. On the mound he shows some rhythm in his delivery that requires regular effort. Long back arm action into a high ¾ slot. Shows some looseness in his arm with the fastball that sits 76-80 mph. Curveball has sharp break on a 11/5 plane at 61-64 mph. Changeup sat 73-74 mph. At the plate he starts with a slightly open setup before using an aggressive stride to get back to even. Has some strength to his bat as he gets through the zone on a level path. Registered an exit velocity of 87 mph and ran a 4.97 from home to first. Has average hands and feet at this stage at third base. Does a good job of gaining ground before throwing across the infield with 78 mph arm strength.
