A right-handed hitter that starts in a wider setup. Goes with an easy leg lift for timing. Bat moves slightly back, launching from a vertical position. Has some strength in his wrist and showed above average bat speed. Ball comes off his bat well. A line drive to hard ground ball hitter. Does a nice job of staying inside the baseball. In the outfield he approaches the baseball using aggressive footwork. Plays through the baseball confidently, showing average to above average ball skills. Skill set projects him in the corner outfield. On the bump the righty has an uptempo delivery that requires some effort. Drop and drive guy that lands in line to home plate. Arm speed is average to above average, working through a high-¾ slot. His upper 70s to low 80s fastball showed some run and sink. Spins an 11/5 shaped breaking ball that had signs of sharpness. The pitch has the present abilities to miss barrels with the potential to grow into a swing and miss offering.
