Positional Profile: RHP/3B
Body: 6-3, 220-pounds.
Hit: RHH- Square stance, stays connected well, some stiffness to swing, present strength allows ability to drive ball effectively to the pull side of the field.
Power: 100 max exit velocity, averaged 91.1 mph. 360' max distance.
Defense: RH. INF-82 mph. Heavier feet with avg. overall actions, possible projection as a first baseman in the future.
ATH: 7.16 runner in the 60.
Delivery/Arm Action: RH- larger durable build, tilt-a-whirl type arm path from OT slot with larger movements effecting ability to repeat.
FB: T80, 76-79 mph. T2021, 1905 average rpm.
CB: 61-62 mph. T1890, 1889 average rpm.
Positional Profile: RHP/3B
Delivery: Long uncontrolled movements affecting the ability to repeat, present raw arm strength.Body: 6-3, 195-pounds.
Defense: RH. INF - 78.00 mph. Heavier feet with choppy movements, shows ability to field routine, longer footwork and release to throw, solid accuracy.
Hit: RHH. Open to start, higher hand load drifting into lower slot, inconsistent hitting slot, flashes of hard spray contact across field.
Power: 89 mph max Trackman exit velocity in bp.
Run: 7.51 runner in the 60.
