Bunnin is a dynamic athlete out of the powerhouse Harvard-Westlake program who backed up an impressive showing during the workout portion of the event with a loud showing during his one game at Fullerton Union. Bunning has an athletic build in a compact frame at 5'9 154.3 lbs. with explosive speed (6.5 60 / 1.55 10 / 3.6 30-yard splits) that profiles to stick in CF as an impact defender. Bunning showed that impact defensive profile in the game patrolling the OF with athleticism and natural instincts. Far from just a defense only player Bunning showed well during batting practice with a max EV of 95.9 MPH and a 370' max distance with his feel for the barrel showing up during game play. The RH hitter had two at bats in one game at Fullerton Union and went 2-2 with both hits being of the extra base variety. His first hit was a missile double to straightaway CF that exited the bat at 95+ MPH and then in his final trip to the dish Bunning elevated the ball at 95+ MPH EV again this time going over the fence for a HR. Showing a future to impact the game in CF at a high level while adding in a top of the order offensive potential profile Bunning looks to be a strong name to know coming out of the Wolverines program.

Positional Profile: OF/2B Shows top end run potential which can help him profile in CF with a solid RH swing that shows present foundation and upside.
Body: 5-8, 146-pounds. Compact wiry build at present with room to mature
Hit: RHH. Taller posture with a more narrow base and even feet. Slight hinge of the hips. High back elbow with hands set up around ear height with barrel angled towards LF foul territory. Uses small leg lift while sinking slightly into rear leg before beginning forward move. Stays balanced at launch with barrel tip to load hands. Hands and barrel path are compact/direct with a flatter path through the zone. Quickness in the swing at present. 65.4 mph bat speed with 8 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 88 max exit velocity, averaged 83.2 mph. 203' max distance. Flatter path plays to more LD and GB contact with line to line doubles power. Will need to learn to use his lower 1/2 more effectively while getting more leverage to tap into future power.
Arm: RH. OF-78 mph. Some depth to the arm path out of the glove with a quick arm stroke that shows solid present foundation.
Defense: Good athlete who can cover ground he is a solid defender at present with his instincts, angles and feel for the ball, but has an interesting ceiling.
ATH: 6.69 runner in the 60. Shows burst off the line with quickness throughout and an athletic operation.
