Showcased a stocky 5-foot-8, 155-pound frame with strength in his actions and room to fill out as he matures. The right-handed hitter begins with a bent, even stance utilizing a lift-and-replace stride and a quick load sequence to initiate an athletic barrel through a slightly uphill path in the zone. Created advanced hand-speed through contact point yielding lift to the pull-side gap off the tee. Registered a 79 mph bat-exit velocity and ran a 7.40 60-yard dash. The primary backstop showed solid receiving skills with minimal sway at the catch point and a soft glove hand. Pop times ranged from 2.07-2.16 on accurate throws of 72 mph from the crouch out of a short, high ¾ arm-slot. Demonstrated athleticism while blocking, displaying soft walls on both sides of the plate with recovery ability. Quick straight line footwork from the crouch and comfortability on transfers allowed for repeatable, accurate throws on the bag. The middle infielder featured adequate footwork arriving to the ball on time with regularity. A low center of gravity and quick hands yielded accurate 71 mph arm-strength across the diamond.
