Positional Profile: LHP/1B
Body: 5-11, 157-pounds.
Hit: LHH. Open stance with tall posture. Hands start even with the ear and drop to the shoulder with slight barrel tilt at launch. Small leg lift and finishes slightly closed. Smooth rhythm and balanced approach. Hands work direct to the ball and lives through the middle of the field. Flat to slight uphill path with a line drive approach. Uses all fields with good lower half use and adjusts well. 66.8 mph bat speed with 5 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 96 max exit velocity, averaged 89.0 mph. 345' max distance.
Arm: LH. INF-83 mph. OF-88 mph. INF: Short, quick arm slot with clean transfers. Ball comes out efficiently and on line, complementing the overall athleticism and defensive ability. OF: Shorter, quicker arm action with good carry. Quick catch and release allows for consistent throws on the run while staying on line to the target.
Defense: INF: Athletic mover with good footwork around the bag. Solid approach and address, staying in rhythm through the play. Actions are controlled and repeatable, showing advanced first base ability. OF: Athletic mover who works downhill and moves through the baseball with rhythm. Keeps momentum through the target and stays balanced on plays. Plus defender who covers ground well and fields with control.
ATH: 7.27 runner in the 60. 1.70 and 4.01 in the 10 and 30 yard splits. 26.20 max vertical.
Vizual Edge: 70.39 Edge Score
Positional Profile: LHP/1B Athletic build with room to add size and strength as he matures.
Body: 5-10, 159-pounds. Lean, athletic frame with room to add size and strength.
Delivery: Stands centered on the mound with solid rhythm and timing, sitting into the backside effectively. Generates strong downhill direction and consistently commands the strike zone. Shows feel for all his pitches, creates excellent hip-to-shoulder separation, and hides the ball well through his delivery.
Arm Action: LH. Loose, smooth arm action from a 3/4 slot with a quick, whippy delivery.
FB: T83, 77-83 mph. T2071, 1983 average rpm.
CB: 70-72 mph. T2014, 1903 average rpm.
SL: 70-74 mph. T2128, 1810 average rpm.

Positional Profile: LHP/1B Athletic build with room to add size and strength as he matures.
Body: 5-10, 159-pounds. Lean, athletic frame with room to add size and strength.
Hit: LHH. Tall, open stance with hands set at the shoulder and the barrel positioned behind the head. Barrel tilts toward center field before launch, creating good direction back up the middle; clears the hips and generates force through efficient use of the ground. Misses occur when he gets out on his front foot, causing him to spin off and just miss. 64.4 mph bat speed with 4 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 92 max exit velocity, averaged 80.0 mph. 302' max distance.
Arm: LH. INF-75 mph.
