6/21/22

Physical: Wiry, projectable 5-foot-8, 125lb build with body control. 8.76 runner in the 60.

Offensively: RHH. Narrow, taller stance, as the barrel starts pre-slotted on the shoulder. Utilized a stretched lift and replace stride to initiate a whippy, slightly uphill path into the hitting zone. Worked towards a two-handed finish with some fall off to the third-base side at times; recorded a T76 mph exit velocity with developing G2G power. 

Defensively: The shortstop bounced in the prep-step with choppy footwork, ready to advance on the ball at the fielding window. Maintained a downhill chest angle, creating momentum across the dirt up to 76 mph (glove pat, H ¾ slot).

Pitching: RHP. Starts sideways off the right side of the mound; repeated early movements with some pace into an up/down stack. Blocks off the front side at 73-75 mph, varying success in the zone (19% strike rate). Above-average feel to spin a 62-64 mph CB (2211) with 15.8 inch HM.
