6/7/16
5-foot-8, 170-pound athletic frame. Was very impressive at the plate both in batting practice and in game action. A switch hitter that has the tools to hit at the next level from both sides. He uses almost identical mechanics from both sides of the plate incorporating a toe turn load with his lower half and fluid hands. At this stage he may be slightly more advanced from the left side but the right isn’t far behind. Produced consistent line drives in batting practice and recorded an extra base hit from both sides of the plate in the game. Ran a 7.03 60-yard dash. Worked out in both the infield and the outfield but projects as an outfielder at the next level. Showed off one of the best arms of the day as he threw to home plate with 87 mph arm strength. Throws showed carry. An adequate defender in the infield with quick footwork and the ability to play low and through the ball. Average hands at this stage. Threw with 81 mph arm strength across the infield.

6/8/15
5-foot-8, 165-pound athletic body frame. From the outfield he shows good footwork approaching ground balls, fielding the baseball out front on his glove side near his left foot. He shows good arm strength without getting himself all the turned before he throws and can improve by getting himself more squared up before transitioning into his crow hop. He throws with quick arm speed, using a clean arm action from an over the top arm slot. He reached a top velocity of 83 mph on his throws with some carry on them from the outfield. In the infield he uses good footwork, with the ability to move well laterally, covering some ground in the infield. He tends to let the ball get deep on his body and funnels the ball into his body. He throws using a clean, short arm action from a ¾ slot with the ability to drop down if he needs to, and reaches a top velocity of 82 mph on his throws. Switch hitter, from the left side he hits from a balanced stance. Doesn’t get much of a load with his lower-half and stays quiet. He uses a slight, fluid load back with his hands. He has a more flat bat path through the zone with a high two-handed follow through, reaching a top exit velocity of 84 mph from the left side. From the right side of the plate he uses similar swing mechanics, he starts from a balanced stance and uses a short, fluid hands back load. It's a mostly level swing through the zone, finishing high with a one-handed follow through and reached a top exit velocity of 80 mph. While his swing may be slightly more advanced from the left side at this stage, he still puts together a solid swing from the right side as well. He shows the ability to use all parts of the field from both sides during his round of batting practice. He ran a 7.19 60-yard dash.

5-foot-8, 165-pound athletic build. This speedy infielder/outfielder really was impressive with his versatility. From the outfield he uses a good run through and quick exchange with an impressive 87 mph arm strength. From the infield he shows good range and throws from a low-¾ to ¾ slot with 82 mph arm strength across the diamond. Switch hitting prospect that is solid from both sides. From the right side he is spread out to help him stay balance. Has quick hands and a slightly uphill swing with 81 mph exit velocity. From the left side he uses a spread out stance with a good load and flat path and 82 mph exit velocity. Might have more success left-handed so he can utilize his 4.01 home to first speed.

1/19/15
5-foot-8, 165-pound athletic build. From the outfield he tends to open up on his throws. Has some effort in his throw from a high-¾ slot with 84 mph arm strength. Switch hitter that is slightly better from the left side. From the right side he starts open and gets to even. Uphill swing with 81 mph exit velocity. From the left side he doesn’t stride with a short, compact swing with good rotation. Top exit velocity from the left side was 83 mph and ran a 7.27 60-yard dash.
