Body: 6-0, 194-pounds. Good build to add strength in future.
Hit: RHH. Rotational back foot, hits into firm front side with good posture. Short stride. Would like to see backside drive forward more with rotation of back foot. Recommend trying for some linear movement forward with back foot. Can lengthen stride some to allow backside to drive forward more as well. Short stride limits ability to get back side incorporated into swing. When hitting into firm front side, work to keep stride foot into ground, not rolling onto side of foot, when this happens body looses balance and impact. Barrel/hands in solid launch position. Work to take know/hands directly to hitting zone, presently casts out creating length to swing. 67.3 mph bat speed with 9 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 97 max exit velocity, averaged 88.5 mph. 287' max distance. 2028 grad will have solid bat/power combo in future. Development opportunities present, will improve with adjustments.
Arm: RH. INF-75 mph. Arm works well, arm speed and raw arm strength will improve.
Defense: Solid actions, feet work well getting to baseball. Hands work, shows nice body control fielding. Solid defensive player.
ATH: 7.63 runner in the 60. Hard, upright runner. Work to develop lean forward with head and shoulders. Run time will increase with improved form and added strength.
