Positional Profile: OF/LHP
Body: 6-0/170lbs. Lean build with some length. Room to fill and add strength. Avg. swift athletic tester 10yd - 1.79, 60yd - 7.40, RSI - 2.62, VERT - 22.8
Defense: Relaxed approach. Glove works down early. Fields off back foot. Clean exchange and works quick to release.
Arm: RH. OF - 82. Loose/whippy arm. Average strength for level. More in the tank. 4/5 accurate 1-hop throws.
Hit: RHH. Taller stance with narrow/open feet. Early/rhythmic loader where he syncs his loose hands with a toe tap trigger. Small coil. Hands extend back into a slight armbar but gain good separation. Bat works on a slight uphill path through. More LDs than FBs/GBs during BP round. Above avg. hand speed via blast. Flashed some pullside power putting several balls to the LF wall (93 max EV).
Positional Profile: 1B/OF
Body: 5-11, 140-pounds. Lean, strong frame with noticeable musculature in lower half of frame.
Defense: Athletic actions with fluid and simple footwork. Times steps to the ball well in the OF where he gathers out front and comes up in position to throw.
Arm: LH. INF - 75 mph. OF - 77 mph. Arm is loose and plays both in the OF and 1B. Throws were accurate at both positions with OF showing stronger, more accurate throws.
Hit: RHH. Open and upright with hands just above the shoulder. Uses a leg lift load-and-go approach that sees him utilize his entire lower half into the swing. Generates easy loft and power with a slightly uphill path through contact and into extension. Line drive approach with consistent barrels throughout the day.
Power: 84 mph exit velocity. Power is easy now and with more strength should be more consistent. Natural strength presently.
Run: 7.42 runner in the 60.
