9/25/16 6-foot-2, 195-pound shortstop displayed advanced arm strength (88 mph) with solid carry during defensive evaluations. The junior ran a 7.48 60-yard dash and displayed the ability to play through the baseball. The right-handed hitter starts from a wide, crouched stance and has raised his load position since we saw him last. Displayed a feel for the barrel and a bat exit velocity of 84 mph. Power potential is there especially if he works to better incorporate his lower half and concentrates on not cutting his swing short at times.
