Uncommitted. Athletic 5-8, 170-pound frame with good strength throughout, right-handed hitter.. In the box, stands upright and slightly open, hands even with ear height and a diagonal back elbow. Strong and controlled sink into back hip triggers load with a higher leg kick, good rhythm in upper half creates ideal hand stretch, before violently releasing hips. Forceful turn of the barrel with big time quickness in hands thru zone with a good level path. Picked on a first pitch FB and homered, good pitch recognition seeing the elevated location and adjusting. Good athlete and packs a punch, like the upside here.

Hops on a first pitch and sends it deep down the LF line for a solo homer! Good pre-swing rhythm & sequencing with explosiveness in the lower half.
Airport leads 3-1 as we head to B6.#PBSCisThere https://t.co/lznclwonSD pic.twitter.com/33gePG7dde
