Advanced, 6.55 runner that can impact the game in a number of ways on both sides of the ball, allowing for the ability to cover ground with ease in the outfield or pick it on the dirt if needed. Features a quick, level right-handed swing that shows a mature approach, strong feel for the barrel and power that continues to take jumps. A dynamic all-around athlete that will be a four-day follow for coaches throughout the week.
