Positional Profile: LHP/OF LHH/OF/1B build/frame to add needed strength in future. Look for run speed to increase with added strength and maturity. Defensively will have versatility as corner OF and 1B. Can firm footwork and hands at both with adjustments. Project solid bat/power combo with changes to hit approach. Swing works. Player with upside, will develop. Strength will be key factor in future. LHP with solid delivery and arm action. Look for arm speed to develop, arm works. FB quality when down in zone. Feel for CB present with solid finish to pitch. Slider release point must be firmed, gets on side. Change with action, deception will develop with firming of arm speed in future. Around zone with stuff. Nice upside on the mound.
Body: 5-11, 165-pounds. Great build/frame to add strength in future. Projects very well physically.
Delivery: 3rd side start. Stretch only, high knee lift with inward turn. Stride foot lands with slight cross step. Nice job of getting over stride leg. Solid direction
Arm Action: LH. Full circle, works well. Nice extension and finish. Look for arm speed to increase. H3/4 slot.
FB: T78, 77-77 mph. Fair carry to FB, must work down in zone for success. Tailing action to FB. Arm works, will see velocity increase. T2002, 1944 average rpm.
CB: Showed CB, solid feel for release point, quality action, developing depth. Similar velocity to slider. CB ahead of slider.
SL: 68-69 mph. Loose, gets on side. Must firm release point for success with slider. Spin developing. T1817, 1790 average rpm.
CH: 69-72 mph. Change with developing deception. Sink, sink/tail action. Will be solid pitch in future. T1935, 1619 average rpm.
SPLT: 68-68 mph.
ATH: 7.85 runner in the 60. Decent start, runs hard. Avg length to stride. Look for run time to increase with added strength and physical maturity.

Around zone with stuff. Nice upside on the mound.
Body: 5-11, 165-pounds. Great build/frame to add strength in future. Projects very well physically.
Hit: LHH. Rotational back foot, works gets fully turned. Foot slides away from plate at times hindering use of lower 1/2. Back foot spins, doesn't drive forward. Drive back foot forward towards pitcher fully engaging lower 1/2 in swing. Hits into firm front leg, rolls onto side of foot after contact. Falls back into into heel of stride foot hindering balance and finish. Stay into ground with stride foot. Body lays back slightly at point of contact, working against lower. Driving lower 1/2 forward will improve posture and impact. Barrel/hands in nice position to launch. Takes solid path to hit zone with both hands and barrel. Look for bat/hand speed to increase with added strength and physical maturity.
Power: 86 max exit velocity, averaged 76.7 mph. 293' max distance. Project solid bat/power combo in future. Opportunities to firm hit approach improving contact consistency. Ability to impact baseball will develop with increased strength and physical maturity. Swing works.
Arm: LH. INF-75 mph. OF-75 mph. Arm works. Recommend long toss program to increase arm speed and raw arm strength. Can develop.
Defense: OF…Moves fine to baseball, can firm moving to baseball more aggressively. Breaks down well to field, work to field baseball out front and off to side moving thru baseball when fielding. 1B…Fields baseball deep, work to field ball out front with hands. Dead feet fielding, play thru baseball with feet.
ATH: 7.85 runner in the 60. Decent start, runs hard. Avg length to stride. Look for run time to increase with added strength and physical maturity.
