5-foot-9, 145-pound athletic build. Right-handed hitter that starts way open and gets to even. Good rhythm in his hands and gets in a good position to hit. Short, compact, swing with quick hands and the barrel stays flat thru the zone. Good rotation on his lower half with 72 mph exit velocity and ran 7.15-60. From behind the plate he starts with a wide base and slightly turned. Opens up on his throws with a quick exchange. From a high-3/4 slot his pop times ranged from 2.16-2.19 with 70 mph arm strength to second base.

Young 5-foot-9, 145-pound thin, projectable body frame, with room to fill out with. From the crouch he uses short footwork to get himself turned and in line on his throws down to second base. He throws with short, clean arm action coming from a high ¾ slot using 69 mph velocity to produce pop times between 2.16-2.19. Right-handed hitter starts from a very open stance, getting himself squared back up to being even before he swings. He swings with a flat bat path through the zone, finishing with a one-handed follow through. He showed an up the middle type of approach during his round of batting practice, reaching a top exit velocity of 71 mph. He ran a 4.40 out of the batter’s box down the line to first base.
