Power: 100 max exit velocity, averaged 88.0 mph. 371' max distance.
Arm: RH. C-75 mph. INF-80 mph. INF: Longer arm action but shows some carry on throws. Ball comes out clean when he stays through his target. C: Short arm slot with throws that come out with some carry. Pop times ranged from 1.96 to 2.14, reflecting the combination of quick feet and developing transfer mechanics.
Defense: 1.96-2.14 pop times. INF: Decent footwork around the bag and moves through the baseball well. Shows good glove work with solid rhythm and timing, allowing plays to stay under control despite a longer arm action. C: Transfers the ball down from the crouch with bigger steps, though shows some quickness in the feet. Takes a bit of time on the transfer but stays under control and moves through the target consistently.
