Physical: Lean, developing 5-foot-11, 151lb frame with athleticism found. 7.12 runner in the 60-yard dash. 

Offensively: RHH - Balanced, even stance with a calm feel in the hands. Utilized an up/down leg-lift stride to initiate the bat head through a flat, rotational path into the hitting zone. Showed off natural feel for the barrel, posting a 43% line drive rate (via Trackman) with singles power sprayed over the middle of the field. Got handsy at times in the approach, manipulating contact points at different parts of the plate for flush contact (285 foot peak batted ball distance). Worked up to a T79 mph bat-exit velocity with more available as he holds additional strength. 

Defensively: The middle infielder used a minor “hop” in the prep step, sticking his foot in the ground while making decisions early in routes. Showed clean movements from right to left down through the baseball, fielding off his left with some rhythm in the exchange. Accurate, H ¾ slot and a 72 mph arm at his peak, second base projection.
