The slider in particular has late bite and profiles as a swing and miss pitch at the next level.

The left handed hitter has been up to 104.6 mph off the bat with a 95.7 mph average and 413 ft max distance, producing some of the loudest contact in the 2026 class. When he is grounded and on time, the ball jumps off the bat differently. The bat speed has climbed as high as 85.5 mph with 25.2 mph hand speed, and the 100 percent hard hit round earlier in the cycle shows just how explosive the barrel can be when everything syncs up.

The swing works with present strength and intent and although favors the pullside he shows the ability to drive the middle of the field. When he keeps his direction through the middle of the field and stays in his lower half, it is true middle of the order type impact. The power is not projection based. It is here right now.
