Positional Profile: SS/3B RHH/Inf…will add strength in future for solid build. Steady defender with versatility on the dirt. Shows good, line drive contact at times, upside to hit with adjustments at plate.
Body: 5-9, 175-pounds. Solid build, good frame to add strength, weight. Will have strong build when fully grown, mature.
Hit: RHH. Lands slightly closed with stride, solid position to hit. Linear movement to back foot, with foot moving forward and away from plate costing him in effectiveness of lower 1/2. I like the linear movement, should work to develop this movement forward towards mound, this will help with impact and rotation acceleration. The back foot can move away and forward on away pitches for balance at times. Hands/barrel start in solid position, with stride, back elbow raises causing some barrel tip towards pitcher creating initial length to swing. Hands work fine to zone. Barrel works back around with some length to zone. Love the hard line drive contact he shows at times. Soften elbow with stride which will keep barrel in better position to launch, creating shorter path to zone with barrel. 69 mph bat speed with 14 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 97 max exit velocity, averaged 83.0 mph. 356' max distance. Solid swing components with opportunities for adjustments present. Upside the hit ability with changes, shows quality line drive contact at times, see this continuing to develop with adjustments.
Arm: RH. INF-87 mph. Arm works well, throws show carry when feet set. Showed he has ability to throw from all angles. Look for raw arm strength to continue to improve over time as he matures physically and add strength.
Defense: Solid defender, feet work well getting body into position to field baseball. Can improve playing thru baseball fielding with feet. Fields ball deep at times. Will be steady defender in future with ability to play 3rd or 2nd base.
ATH: 7.19 runner in the 60. 1.77 and 4.01 in the 10 and 30 yard splits. Runs hard, solid runner, expect time to get slight better in future. 25.60 max vertical.

Hit: RHH. Slightly crouched to straight away stance, feet start wider than shoulders width apart. Some linear movement to rotation of back foot doing good job of involving lower 1/2 in swing, hips drive thru well.
