6-00/155, lean, athletic look...2027 RHP/C who could end up +defensive C but much greater value as hard-throwing RHS with +stuff.
RHP: Arm is best tool, quick/loose/live arm, up to 86.4 (2331 spin) after all day workouts as position player, not far fetched to project 92-95 senior year as still 14 yrs old...high-spin CB, up to 2520 with feel, late bite/finish when hits and may not be best secondary as possesses very advanced CHG for age, excellent arm spd & deception with +fading action, both pitches on path to end up plus & premium K-out pitches...looks 14 yrs old but once on mound has presence of a seasoned pro, exudes confidence, very aggressive, mentality/approach is not trying to trick you, but out-stuff you...reminds me of an 18 yr old K-Rod (Francisco Rodriguez) with lean 6 ft frame, big FB & wipeout SL who then developed CHG into one of the best out-pitches in MLB after losing MPH's from FB.
C: 1.94 pop-time at 14 yrs old is eye-opening, catches pretty easy, moves well as +athlete, could develop into a mid-1.80's pop-time guy and shut-down-run-game defender...rough day with bat in BP but I've seen him better, got some bat speed & more pop that looks at 155 lbs, hit doesn't come as easy as pitching but would not bet against him with bat.
Hawaii #3 ranked 2027...future MLB scout follow and potential 2027 MLB draft.
