Lean, lanky 6-foot, 160-pound frame that projects to add strength in the coming years, particularly in the lower half. Intrigued our staff on both sides of the ball at the KCPI. Flat, rotational swing at the plate, uses levers to create whippy strength off the barrel. Hopped on the mound and reached an 86 mph high from a loose, easy high ¾ slot. Spun a slurvey-type breaking ball that got multiple swings-and-misses. An upside two-way follow in Oklahoma that’s set to start his sophomore year.
