Showcased a long and lean 6-foot-2, 160-pound frame with present feel for his body. The right-handed hitter begins with a balanced, open stance featuring a high hands setup utilizing a leg-hang to initiate a slightly uphill barrel path into the hitting zone. Demonstrated feel for an athletic lower half allowing for some hip-shoulder separation and occasional pull-side lift in the swing. Displayed adequate barrel control while hitting hard line drives to both gaps, recording a 71 mph bat-exit velocity during batting practice. The primary backstop showed off adequate receiving skills with minimal glove movement at the catch point. Pop times ranged from 2.00-2.09 on accurate throws of 74 mph from the crouch out of a high ¾ arm-slot. Featured quality straight line footwork and quick transfers yielding repeatable throws on the bag. Flashed comfortability while blocking, beating the ball to the spot and creating soft walls on both sides of the plate. The right-handed pitcher sat 76-79 mph with hip-coil out of a fluid, high ¾ arm-slot with command on the fastball. Mixed in a 69-71 mph slider with small bite across the zone. Countered with a 71-72 mph changeup thrown with quality sell and showing off occasional arm-side run.
5-foot-9, 115-pound right-handed hitter starts from a square stance and utilizes a leg-hang stride to initiate his swing. Balanced swing mechanics with very little load action resulted in a bat exit velocity of 54 mph. Ran a 9.52 60-yard dash and showcased pop times of 2.58-2.69 on throws of 58 mph from the crouch. The righty sat 63-64 on the mound with minor cut action to his fastball. Also displayed command of a 2-seam fastball with some arm side run, a slider at 57-58 and a changeup at 60-62.
