2/15/20 Position Player
Hit: At the plate he uses a toe tap load and starts with his hands slightly lower than average. He has a bit of an armbar during his load which causes him to cast his hands at times. Overall shows a fairly flat bat path with good barrel control.
Top BP Exit Velocity: 88.4 mph
Top BP Distance: 248 feet
Offensive Projection: Still a young prospect. How he matures physically and adds strength will be main component of long term projection.
Field: In the outfield he shows below average footwork but plays through the ball fairly well. At first base he also shows some choppy footwork but seems to have decent glove skills.
Throw: 72 mph across the diamond and 77 mph from the outfield.
Defensive Projection: 1B
