Physical: Lean, lengthy 5-foot-9, 151lb frame with some projection found. 7.24 runner in the 60-yard dash. 

Offensively: LHH - Balanced, shoulder-width stance as the hands showed some rhythm by the shoulder. Utilized a short lift and replace stride as the bat head launched through a flat, direct path into the zone. The top hand operated with accuracy, striking the ball flush and using a mostly middle of the field approach during his round. Posted a T82 mph bat-exit velocity (via Trackman) and notched a 36% fly ball rate with some lift available towards a higher finish. Featured occasional doubles power to pull with a prototypical top of the order profile. 

Defensively: The middle infielder got downhill with an up-tempo round of defense, staying lower postured and over the front-side. Raced to the right of the ball to create good, direct angles to the target and released at a H ¾, accurate slot (78 mph arm, repeated).

The FB ran up to 79 mph, (76-78) mixing a sharp 64-65 mph CB with some lateral action across the dish (60%+ zone rate). Then added a killed 71-73 mph CH at 1500rpms with consistent arm-side fade.

Recorded an 83 mph bat-exit velocity per Trackman Baseball generating a standout 91% line drive rate per Trackman Baseball. A 278 foot peak batted ball distance points towards doubles power at the moment, a good rotational score of 26.1 G’s suggests an even higher power ceiling to reach down the line. Liked the actions in the box with adjustability present as well as advanced feel for the barrel; above-average feel for the hit tool. 

Defensively: The primary shortstop featured always active footwork with the weight over the toes, was on time with the rhythm, nice feel for pace and an accurate glove hand fielding off of the middle-left side of his body. Funneled into the belt with a high ¾ release yielding an 81 mph arm strength across the diamond. Made the play on the run look smooth as well … The backstop flashed solid receiving abilities from a traditional setup; pop times got down around the 2.00 range with direct transfers and a simple catch and throw mechanism. Easy positional flexibility while burying the baseball over the plate on blocks.
