Positional Profile: OF/1B Well rounded player who shows CF defensive profile with instincts and solid upside. Interesting offensive upside with a high contact line drive approach that continues to add more impact with maturity.
Body: 5-11, 190-pounds. Solidly built athletic frame with emerging strength and room to fill
Hit: RHH. Slightly wider set up with feet and medium crouch into his knees and hinged at the hips. High back elbow with the hands set about ear height near his head with barrel angled towards LF foul pole. Utilized a no stride load by cocking his front knee and sitting into back leg to get his weight loaded. Hands slightly drop into the slot before uncorking his swing. Turns well in the middle of his body with quickness and an accurate barrel. Hands are direct to the ball with the barrel leverage through the zone generating hard contact consistently. 61.5 mph bat speed with 8 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 91 max exit velocity, averaged 82.0 mph. 298' max distance. Line to line hard contact hitter who shows the ability to leverage the ball with carry to the middle of the field that shows present doubles power. Solid top end EV with room to add.
Arm: RH. INF-79 mph. OF-82 mph. Medium length arm action with quickness in the path. More accuracy than pure strength, but shows online carry with room to handle CF/LF and 1B.
Defense: Shows good instincts for the ball in the air and on the ground with efficient routes and footwork that make him a strong defender with room to continue adding dynamic actions to be impactful. Solid CF defender with versatility.

Positional Profile: OF/1B Bat to ball RH hitter who shows feel for barrel with high contact approach and 3 position OF defensive profile
Body: 6-0, 185-pounds. Athletic frame that shows some present strength to it across lower/upper body with room to fill
Hit: RHH. Wider set up with feet slightly open crouched in his legs with hip hinge. High back elbow with hands set even to the rear shoulder and slightly off the body and barrel tips back over his head angled toward 3B dugout Utilizes a very small step into the launch position with a knee cock to his front knee while incorporating a barrel tip to load hands. Lands early with a slight pause before beginning swing. Uses the lower 1/2 to generate torque in the turn while displaying quickness to his hand path with an accurate bat to ball approach. Generates consistent contact off the barrel with some impact. Two handed finish with leverage gets the ball in the air with some carry.
Power: Approach is tailored to high contact with a bat to ball swing path that sprays line drives around the field, but flashes impact to the pull side. Power plays mostly as doubles presently, but frame projects HR potential.
Arm: RH. OF-83 mph. Incorporates a small crow hop during the transfer with some length to his arm circle before releasing from a higher slot which generates online carry to his throws. Shows accuracy with consistency to his throws.
Defense: Moves well around the OF with a solid fundamental base, good routes and instincts for the ball in the air. CF upside with ability to play either corner OF spot.
ATH: Quick first step who builds to top speed efficiently while maintaining length and quickness to his strides.
