Another player who I've personally been a fan of his profile for now going on three years since I first saw him playing the OF for West Ranch as a Soph. It's a more compact athletic frame with solid athleticism that fits his CF defensive profile and table-setter offensive profile with some sneaky impact. The swing works on a flatter contact oriented path, but with solid present bat speed from a lower hand set deep in the zone he is able to get through the bottom half of the ball for line drives. He collected a pair of singles one in a left on left at bat early in the game and then a big one later in the game to RF ambushing an early mistake from the Lions reliever to break the game open for West Ranch. He patrols CF with aggression looking to make plays including going hard into the fence in RCF attempting to take away an extra base hit from the Lions. His athleticism shows up in the versatility to add a quality LH reliever profile to the West Ranch with a low 80s FB and depthy CB that picked up the final out to secure the W for the Wildcats, but he is best suited for a future in the OF/LH batters box at the next level for the Masters College.
