Offensively: LHH. Narrow, slightly open stance, as the barrel starts loosely over the plate. Featured a deliberate leg-kick stride to initiate his swing through a whippy, uphill path into the hitting zone. Transferred energy well behind a strong front side; recorded a T94MPH EV on the sweet spot at 302FT. Collected a few big hits for Team PA, including an RBI single to get things going vs. Mississippi.

Defensively: Primary OF showed off increased rhythm, utilizing a glove-tap to produce a lively 87MPH arm-strength on workout day. Chopped the feet early and broke downhill, releasing out of a H ¾ slot. Corner appeal in the future.

Pitching: LHP. The southpaw balances the delivery with a simple stack and direct move towards the mitt from a near OTT slot. Created occasional tilt on a lower-80’s FB and added a sharp 68-71MPH CB at 2386rpms for Ks. A 72-74MPH CH looks to be a quality offering with killed spin+horizontal fade.
