Illinois-Springfield commit, currently ranked No. 105 in the Illinois 2022 class. Hit out of the two-hole and impressed behind the plate throughout the game. Defensively, showed soft/receptive hands when receiving, working to present pitches; he moves well on balls in the dirt, blocking to each side and deadening the ball out front. Showed to manage the run-game extremely well, back-picking often and popping a 2.14 in-game; quick transfer with a strong arm, playing with backspin and carry to the bag. At the plate, the left-handed hitter put together an impressive at-bat against premier velocity; seeing the ball well out of the hand and working with quick hands to the ball, often pulling pitches at 90+ mph. Starts with an open, slightly crouched setup, high leg-kick timing trigger, foot gets down early; strong hands through the ball with an uphill path, easy bat-speed. Reliable catch-and-throw backstop with a knack for hard contact.
