Ran a 6.92 60-yard dash. An arm to follow in the 2019 class. Looks athletic and comfortable on the bump. Arm is loose and fast as it travels through a high-¾ slot. Shows all the signs of more velocity to come, currently sitting 80-83 mph with the fastball. Spun one of the more impressive breaking balls of the day. The 12/6 breaker has heavy action to it with depth at 69-72 mph. A right-handed hitter that starts in a wider setup. Hands stay relatively simple during his double tap load. Path is slightly downhill with obvious quickness to his hands. Has some twitch in there, flashing gap pop. Would like to see him level out path to let his above average tools show more frequently. Looked athletic and comfortable in the box. Recorded an exit velocity of 82 mph. Impressed in the infield. Plays fast while remaining under control. Maintains actions and rhythm throughout fielding sequence. Glove is a well above average tool. Also worked out in the outfield. Looked comfortable and athletic at the spot. Remains smooth as he plays fast too and through the baseball. A functionally athletic prospect who looks to be able to play both spots at an above average clip. Showed 77 mph arm strength across the diamond and 82 mph arm strength from the outfield.

Starts in a tall setup at the plate. Does a nice job of gathering his weight during his leg lift and transferring it into contact. Hands stay loose and simple during stride. Create solid barrel whip through the zone. Showed more pop to his pull side. In the outfield he uses calm footwork prior to fielding. Does a very good job of fielding through the ball and getting rid of it quickly. In the infield he showed aggressive footwork getting to the ball quickly. Would like to see him play through the ball more efficiently on plays in his funnel. Solid lateral mobility.

60-yard dash: 7.02
Exit Velocity: 80
Outfield Velocity: 82
