Physical Attributes/Projection: 6-3, 190lbs, High waisted corner INF prospect. Broad shoulders and lengthy frame give him plenty of room for continued development.
Offensive Analysis: Open stance, some flexion in the knees. Athletic stance. Hands held at the shoulders with the bat in a horizontal position. Medium leg kick and stride length. Quick tempo at times with his stride. Barrel lifts and turns at the top prior to launch. Natural lift in the bat path with gap to gap power present. Good feel for the barrel with naturally quick hands.
Defensie Analysis: Solid defender at 3B made several nice plays. Plays through his ground balls with a smooth tempo and confident hands. Arm strength will play from the left side. He may also be able to slide over to 1B or into a corner OF position based on team needs.
Delivery/Mechanics: Secondary pitcher showed good feel for his stuff. Worked with consistent tempo from the stretch. Simple balance point at the belt. Filled up the strike zone with multiple pitches. OTT arm slot. Avg. arm speed.
Pitches/Stuff: FB showed slight wiggle to the arm side. Located to both sides of the plate. Short breaker for an off speed pitch. Side to side with occasional downward snap.
