Hit: RHH. Wide base with slightly open front foot and crouch to his knees with slight hip hinge. Hands are set just above the rear shoulder with low back elbow.

Power: 87 max exit velocity, averaged 65.7 mph. 146' max distance. Shows feel to get the baseball in the air, but harder contact is on the line drive plane. Some inconsistency to rhythm/timing affected contact quality. Profiles as line to line LD hitter with doubles power at present.
Arm: RH. INF-77 mph. Short drawback with hand/elbow into a quick arm stroke with carry on throws out of hand. Shows long term left side of INF potential.
Defense: Plays with body control and sure hands while demonstrating feel for angles and timing. More fundamental than dynamic at present, but there is plenty to see him to stay on the left side of the INF.
