6/12/18: 2019 OF prospect out of Benton Central. Lanky athletic build with room for growth. Hits from right side, tall open set up. Short stride to the baseball, bat path is slightly uphill with a high finish. Foot lands early and rhythm is somewhat choppy in swing. Showed line drive ability to both gaps. In the OF showed twitchy actions, arm action is loose and quick, throws were accurate. Exchange is clean, arm is above average. Interesting 2019 to follow.

9/10/17: 60 Time: 7.32, Position Velocity: OF-85, Exit Velocity: 81. 6-foot-1, 160 pound junior outfielder uses quiet, quick leg lift to load and start swing, generating quick bat speed to the pull side. Turn and burn approach from the right side, starts slightly open with leg lift to stride to good length, hands work below the shoulder and bar to enter the hitting zone. Front foot lands slightly open with head and torso staying stacked above the back knee, behind the baseball. Better balance to finish, pull side pop with some lift. Corner outfielder, showed some arm strength from the OF with long arm action, stiff in the back. Quick OF actions, delivered throws missing right/arm side with average carry and strength to base.
