Physical: Projectable, long 6-foot, 150lb frame with room to continue filling out plenty. 7.70 runner in the 60-yard dash.
Offensively: RHH - Open, slightly bent stance with some crouch in the knees. Utilized a toe tap stride with some weight shift into impact, allowing for the barrel to unleash with whip through a flat path into the hitting zone. Posted a T86 mph bat-exit velocity via Trackman while staying moderately high postured throughout the swing; found success notching a 57% line drive rate with ability to drop in base hits to the pull-side gap. Hit into a stiff front side working his way up to a 300+ foot batted ball distance during his batting practice round with feel for extension.
Defensively: Operated with calm feet, approaching on time with a soft glove hand that funneled inward to the middle of his body; average pace and released from a lower ¾ slot with high intent/arm-side run across the diamond (79 mph arm, accurate).
Pitching: RHP - Started off the left side of the rubber with a short heel-to-toe side rocker before lifting slowly up to a high leg-lift before dropping down to the side at a sidearm slot. Pounded the zone at 74-76 mph with some sink in on RHH hands, adding a sweeping 60-61 mph SL up to 18 inches of HM via Trackman.
