Positional Profile: SS/RHP RHH/INF solid build/frame to add needed strength. Look for run speed to increase in future. Chance to develop into fringe avg runner. Developing actions on the infield, will firm quickly with adjustments. Project solid/bat power combo in future with adjustments to hit approach and swing. Flashes hard contact at times now. Developing player. RHP… delivery works, can firm finish and extension. Looking for arm speed to develop in future. FB shows some carry up, firming delivery will increase ability to work FB down in zone. Shows feel to spin baseball with both CB and Slider. Depth to finish with CB when landed, chance to develop into swing and miss pitch. Slider has blended action, solid pitch when landed. With ability to spin baseball, presently more of reliever. FB command must be firmed to start.

Body lays back at contact, work to get more upright with body at contact, getting foot fully turned will help some with this as well.

Hit: RHH. Slight crouch to stance, starts in good position. Knee lift stride, lands in good spot with body in good position to hit. Shows developing linear movement to back foot, gets stuck at times, work to get fully fully turned with shoe laces to pitcher and driving forward. Like the linear back foot. Right shoulder tilt, work to keep shoulders little more level in swing. Tilt causes barrel dump, getting barrel under baseball. Barrel/hands in good position to launch. Nice bat speed present. Knob/hands take nice path to zone, barrel has some marginal length, work to take barrel in more direct path to zone working to get on plane. Slight adjustment to shoulder level will help with barrel getting on plane. If really comfortable with shoulder tilt, during tee work and other drill work hitting, stress keeping barrel above hands, this is really necessary for contact consistency.
