Middle of the lineup type skill set. Physical dude with the top batspeed we saw from Team Ohio at 82 mph. Also showed efficient movement capabilities with lower half. Mid 90s jump off the barrel. Everything points to run producer skill set at the next level. Defensively he offers a corner skill set. Functionally athletic with smooth actions. Gave you a quick insight to what you're going to see on the mound as well, tossing it 87mph across the diamond.

2/2/2019 Pitching

Body Type: 5-foot-6 135-pound prospect.

Mechanical/Delivery Notes: Threw from a ¾ arm slot with a bent over posture during his leg lift.

Fastball: 68-70 mph fastball was mostly true through the zone.

Breaking Ball: 58-62 mph breaking ball showed minimal bite and sharpness.

Changeup: 60-62 mph changeup was mostly true through the zone.

Pitchability: Presently shows average raw stuff with solid command of his three pitch mix.

Role: Present arsenal would make him a best fit in the bullpen. Still lots of room for growth and development as a 2023.

Swing Mechanics: Starts in a narrow, balanced stance. Uses a front hip hinge load and keeps his barrel in the zone well.

Hit: Good hands and barrel control.

Power: 85 mph exit velocity. 

 Offensive Projection: Shows above average raw power for a 2023 with a good ability to keep his barrel through the zone. Should develop at least into a gap to gap guy as he gets older.

Field: In the infield he shows decent feet and ok angles through the ball. He waits a bit too much but showed good hands.

Run: 8.25 60 yard dash.

Defensive Projection: Showed pretty good instincts and actions defensively but how he develops physically throughout high school will have the most influence on where he projects at the next level.
