5-foot-11, 147-pound, RHH hits from a balanced and slightly open stance, uses a short stride and nothing more than a slight little bat wrap to get loaded, lower half is active but never truly gets through and certainly holds back his backside from driving, swing plane is very flat but seemed to come around the ball quite a bit as a result of his lower half.  Defensively, showed good hands and average footwork in the outfield, exchange took a while and included a glove pat, arm is loose and slings the ball through a low ¾ slot, also participated as a catcher.

12/10/16 - Max FB: 79, FB: 77-79, CH: 72-74, SL: 68-70
5-foot-11, 147-pound, RHP showed a very slow and methodical motion but maintains consistency and produced a decent tempo throughout his bullpen, uses a longer rocker step and pulls his hands up with his leg lift, doesn’t quite get the lower half engagement he’s capable of, upper body posture never really changes as he keeps his shoulder level flat and his head very still in his finish, strides ever so slightly closed but is able to get out and around that front leg upon his finish, finishes tall and straight ahead, arm action is long and slings through a lower ¾ slot.  Fastball showed gradual run and some good velo for his age, slider had 10/4 shape with gradual movement across the zone, changeup had some run but was in the dirt quite a bit.
