Scouting Report

2/20/23

Physical: 5-foot-10, 185 pounds; Broad shouldered, sturdy build. 8.19 runner in the 60.

Offensively: RHH. Even setup, with feet just outside his shoulders; upright bat position. Drops hands on the way back with an up and down stride for timing. Stays behind the ball while showing a strong lower half. Showed a moderate swing path with a two handed finish.  More line drives than flyballs and groundballs with a peak exit velocity of 82 MPH via Trackman

Defensively: Starts with a low to the ground setup; uses prep step while utilizing a quick first step. Hands work through the ball with a seamless transfer. Short take back from a high 3/4 arm slot.   INF - 72 MPH.
