Positional Profile: C/1B RHH/C thick build with plenty of room to add strength. Run grade will firm some in future. Moves well on field for big build. Received and moves fine behind plate. Quickness to release, look for raw arm strength to firm. Strong confidence in hit ability, power coming. Will develop, watch progress.
Body: 5-9, 223-pounds. Thick build. Sloping shoulders, width to back. Lower shows thickness and strength.
Hit: RHH. Lands in good position to hit. Back foot gets stuck occasionally in rotation, linear movement with back foot, does a nice job of using lower 1/2 in swing. Hits into firm front leg. Stride foot rolls onto side of foot after contact, nice job of staying into feet hitting from ground up. Solid posture at contact. Timing is solid, uses core well for rotational acceleration, continue to develop core strength thru rotation exercises. Barrel/hands in decent launch position. Work to make sure barrel doesn't drift to bill of cap with load creating barrel tip. Swing works, gets pull conscious at times, gets quick. Concentrate on using back 1/2 of body to swing, getting quick is caused by engaging front 1/2 of body in swing and over swinging. Front 1/2 is for stability, back 1/2 creates bat speed and impact. 72.2 mph bat speed with 21 G's of rotational acceleration.
