Offensively: RHH. Balanced, even stance with the feet underneath the base. Utilized a lower hand-set and toe tap stride to initiate the swing through a whippy, uphill path into the hitting zone. Arm-bar at times, but drove the ball to the pull-side of the field consistently during his round. Recorded a T93 mph bat-exit velocity via Trackman and reached a 348 foot distance with some raw power.

Defensively: The outfielder showed off corner projection with chopped footwork and downhill actions over the front side. Softer glove hand that appeared tall off his left, bending at the waist, and released up to 85 mph positionally.

Physical: Longer, projectable 6-foot, 170lb frame. 7.32 runner in the 60-yard dash.

Offensively: RHH - Balanced, slightly open stance, as the hands played in rhythm at the shoulder. Utilized a toe-tap stride and deep slotted load to initiate the swing through a slightly uphill path that unloaded short to long on the ball. Stayed inside the body in the box and recorded a middle of the field, LCF gap approach while extending at the front of the plate. Recorded a T90 mph bat-exit velocity up to a 322 foot distance, doubles power. 

Defensively: The primary outfielder read the ball well off the bat, racing downhill with pace at the touch and releasing from a H ¾ slot (moderate takeaway, accurate, 83 mph). Corner projection and rounded the ball multiple times in either direction. Slid over to the infield, handling himself with composure when moving to the left. Maneuvered under the ball and got rid quickly at 75 mph across the diamond.
