Average frame with strength present in the lower half at 5-foot-9, 160 pounds.   Right handed hitter is open and balanced, using a smooth load back and short stride.  Lower half is not real active through the swing, costing him some potential power but there is feel for the barrel.  Short stroke, working to produce line drives with a slight pull emphasis.  Fluid and repeats his actions in the box.  Exit velocity peaked at 78 mph off the barrel.  Behind the dish, it is a quick transition with good feet. Exchanges with strength across the chest to a short arm swing and over-the-top release.  Front side tends to clear the line early, causing some fade on the ball.  Feel for the bag with average carry measuring 71 mph out of the crouch.  Pop times at 2.22 – 2.44.  Sixty time at 7.74 on the laser timer.

5-foot-7, 150 pounds with room to add weight and strength to his frame. Right handed hitter is balanced and tall with a vertical bat.  Simple stride and weight shift leads to some looseness in his swing.  Consistency will grow with body control. Average bat speed and barrel awareness led to an exit velocity of 75 mph and should improve with strength.  Behind the dish the hips have some tension in his setup.  Hands are free to move and handled the ball well in bullpens.  Feet work with ease and may quicken with age.  Simple transition across the chest to a short arm action and strong high-3/4 slot.  Pop times ranged 2.22-2.38 with a feel for the bag.  Ball stayed true out of the hand.  Positional velocity of 74 from the crouch.  Posted times of 3.06 in the 20 yard dash and 4.81 in the 5-10-5 with a broad jump of 7-3.

Young player with solid athleticism and fundamental foundation.  Looseness in the hips and an ease in his transfer from behind the plate.  Hands work well receiving.  Pop times ranged 2.11-2.17 from the 5-foot-7, 150 pounder.  Quickness in the feet and a strong exchange across the chest load the arm.  Positional velocity of 70 mph from the crouch.  Ball tends to fade to arm side, lacking some carry.  Accuracy should improve as the ball carries.  Right handed hitter produces barrels, staying in the middle of the field.  Simple, repeatable approach.  Balanced setup, shifting his weight back and using a short stride.  Good head discipline gets to average bat speed.  Short, level path.  Exit velocity peaked at 71 mph.  Timed sixty at 7.89.
