Long arms bring the bat through the hitting zone and produce and 80 MPH exit velocity. In the field he moves well on balls in the hole. He had a 73 MPH arm velocity across the infield with accuracy. On the mound he starts tall with a high leg kick, he then crouches and falls to the plate and delivers from a high ¾ arm slot. His fastball was 73 MPH with late movement and good accuracy down in the zone. He also added a 66 MPH curve with sweeping break across the zone.

6-foot-0 148-pound right-handed first base and right-handed pitcher. Defensively, he covers good ground at first base and uses a long over the top arm motion to generate 70 mph velocities across the diamond. Good size for a sophomore and his body and arm at getting in time with each other. On the mound he lives between 72-74 mph fastball and compliments this pitch with 63 mph curve and 66 mph change. As he grows he will develop more leg drive and velocity to the plate. Good downward movement on all pitches and strong command of both sides of the plate. At the plate, he hits from a slightly open stance with 60-40 balance. Does not always close up the front side. Exit velo was 69 mph. Hits the ball well to the right center gap and will develop more power to left field with time.
