The 5-foot-8, 130-pound two way player had a solid morning as he displayed athleticism all-around. In the box, he produced quality swings and line drives to both gaps by dropping the barrel right to the ball and finishing with an uppercut swing. He showed strong fundamentals during OF throws, fielding the ball on the outer foot and aggressively charging with confidence. Toeing the rubber, he sat 70-72 with his FB and his CH showed great movement with 12in HZB and 14IVB (64-66). He sported a CB as well for an effective second breaking option.
