Notes

Comments

7/05/23

Physical: 5-11, 140 pounds; Long, wiry build. 7.62 runner in the 60.

Offensively: RHH. Even setup, with feet just outside his shoulders; flat bat to start. Short take back with the hands with a slight leg-kick for timing. Stays behind the ball while showing an aggressive lower half. Showed a moderate swing path with a two handed finish.  More groundballs than line drives and flyballs with a peak exit velocity of 84 MPH via Trackman.

Defensively: Starts with a balanced setup; uses prep step while utilizing a quick first step. Hands are off to the side with a clean transfer. Short take back from a standard 3/4 arm slot.   INF - 71 MPH.

Pitching: Uses a glove side setup while using a side step. Belt high leg drive with a slight lean over the belt. Has a moderate stride landing inline with the plate. Long arm swing while arm stays in line with 2B; high 3/4 slot. Spins off 1B side with finish. FB: Peak velo of 74 MPH, while sitting 70-73 MPH; arm side run. CB: 58-60 MPH; showed depth.
