Begins in a balanced quiet stance with a quick load, then uses a controlled stride. Had quick bat speed, short simple swing plane and good extension on his finish. Solid in the outfield, his throws to the bases were maxed out at 81 mph; has consistent hands, a clean exchange, and quick feet. Fielded the ball out front with athletic movement laterally. Had a loose arm action with a high ¾ slot. During the event, recorded a 60 time of 7.75. On the mound, showed a loose arm action and a high ¾ arm angle with consistent arm speed Drop-and-drive type pitcher who shows easy effort. Produced a fastball that came in at 76-78 mph. Has slight running action. (Max spin 1924; Avg 1869). His 11/5 curveball (58-60) shows slight sweeping action. (Max spin 1839; Avg 1755). He has some action on his changeup (65-68).
Hit:Left-handed bat that starts in a balanced setup. Showed a fluid load that leads to a balanced launch. Rotation swing sequence that worked well inside a middle to pull approach. Much more pop to come as he fills out that very projectable, 6-foot-1 frame.
Power:Line drive pop.
Offensive Projection:Table setter.
Field:In the outfield he plays with a quicker tempo in his approach that he slows at fielding to ensure balls security. Ball skills appear to be on par for class
Throw:Over the top righty with developing strength and present accuracy.
Defensive Projection:TBD on how arm develops.
