8/11/18 - 60 Time: 7.50, Position Velocity:  OF-82, Exit Velocity: 72
6-foot-0, 175-pound, LHH shows the making of an all-around skill-set.  Medium, athletic frame w/ well-proportioned present strength, some physical projection.  Offensively, hits w/ a straight on, very slightly crouched stance w/ short hand rhythm into short shift of weight w/ proper load and stride.  Generates bat speed through the zone, better than exit velocity indicates.  Learning to get lower half consistently involved, occasionally along for the ride and serving as more directional than impactful.  Gap power type.  Defensively, shows carry to target arm strength w/ chance to stay in CF as frame continues to mature.

6-foot-0, 175-pound, LHH showed intriguing line-drive oriented swing.  Medium, athletic frame w/ well-proportioned lean strength throughout, projectable.  Offensively, hits w/ a very slightly open, crouched stance w/ short hand rhythm into shift of weight, short load and no stride.  Generates bat speed through the zone.  Simple, repeatable swing.  Line drive machine at his best, shows ability to use all fields.  Would benefit from a stride, used one on a 3-1 count swing late in game 1.  Gap power type.  Defensively, moves well in the OF w/ projectable carry to target arm strength.
