Positional Profile: C/3B RHH/C/INF with good build/frame to add more strength. Moves well. Defensively will have versatility present with ability to be steady receiver and developing actions on infield. Solid bat/power combo in future with adjustments, will have ability to impact baseball with consistency with changes. Good player developing.
Body: 5-8, 171-pounds. Good build/frame. Strength present to upper and lower half. Width to shoulders and back. Good physical projections.
Hit: RHH. Open stance, lands in good position after stride. Rotational back foot, works fine, doesn't get fully rotated, hindering use of lower 1/2. Get back foot fully turned, driving forward towards mound. Hits with body laid back, with full rotation of back foot, drive lower into firm front side getting posture more upright at contact. Body laid back creates uphill path resulting in ground ball or fly ball contact. Lots of barrel movement prior to launch. Barrel starts swing with barrel tip over head, this creates length to swing. Barrel is best launch in area somewhere behind head, knob is flashlight with light in direction of catcher. Presently barrel works down and around from launch with length. Working behind head allows for more direct path to hit zone with barrel.
Power: 96 max exit velocity, averaged 88.2 mph. 355' max distance. Project solid bat/power combo in future. Opportunities for adjustments with both hit approach and swing. Upside with changes, shows hard contact at times now, contact consistency and impact will improve with adjustments.
Arm: RH. C-78 mph. INF-76 mph. INF...Arm works well. Nice, short arm action. Shows some ability to throw from different angles. C...Nice arm action from behind the plate, flashes some carry with avg raw arm strength. Left shoulder flies open causing glove side misses, work to keep it closed.
Defense: 1.97-2.06 pop times. INF...Steady footwork moving to the ball. Play thru baseball with feet when fielding, field baseball out front with fingers down…palm facing baseball. Flashes range. C...Good replacment of feet. Solid glove to hand exchange.
