Offensively: RHH - Calm, rhythmic stance at shoulder-width as the barrel waved high to start. Utilized a short, controlled lift and replace stride to a wider attack, initiating through a flat, direct path showing good extension on the front-side. Hit into a strong, firm lead leg producing good sequencing en route to a loud T95 mph bat-exit velocity with impressive rotational scores. Notched a mainly pull-side approach for damage out over the plate, staying in the legs and working up the chain for a 354 foot batted ball distance and home run power on occasion. Mature hitter using a 44% fly ball rate (via Trackman) to accompany successful swings with backspin for extra-bases.
Defensively: The third baseman gained significant ground on the baseball, working over the toes with some pace and an accurate glove hand presented on-time, out in front. Got the hips turned in line and released from an easy, fluid H ¾ slot with natural arm talent (T86 mph across).
Physical: 5-foot-11, 175 pounds; strong, athletic build. 7.12 runner in the 60.
Offensively: RHH. Balanced stance with feet even and a bend in the knees while hands start up high over the back shoulder; gains some ground with a toe tap stride while hands take efficient load back. Leads with aggressive lower half hitting into a strong front side with Barrel is quick into the zone producing up to 19.5 G's rotational acceleration and a top bat speed of 73 mph with an on plane efficiency of 76%. Hard contact through the middle and pull side with pop to the gap; peak Trackman exit velocity of 87 MPH.
Defensively: Walks into ready; Athletic footwork playing low to the ground and through the ball with ability to make the play on the run with relative ease. Soft glove hand with clean transfers; able to vary arm action and release with the play. INF - 78 MPH.
Pitching: Works from the stretch; builds momentum with a high leg lift before getting into back side as strides out down the line to a repeatable release and follow through to the glove side. Hand pulls back out of the glove before working quickly through a natural 3/4 release. FB: Peak velo of 83 MPH, while sitting 79-82 MPH. Has advanced life out of the hand with a Bauer Unit of 30; Up to 19" of vertical ride and 18" of arm side run. CB: 66-67 MPH. Plus breaking ball; Sharp with late depth and 11-5 shape; Max vertical drop of 17.6" and 11.2" horizontal movement . CH: 72-73 MPH. Good sell with arm side fade.
