Positional Profile: SS/RHP Nice player, solid player with defensive ability, will be solid defender with ability to stay at SS at next level. Offensively has opportunities for adjustments, like the upside to bat/power with changes.
Body: 6-1, 166-pounds. Good build/frame to add strength, solid in future.
Hit: RHH. Width to stance, weight shift to back let to initiate stride, length to stride, lands flat footed creating drift forward with body, doesn't hit off firm front side. Linear movement to back foot, could start tad earlier and move directly to mound instead of slight movement to left of mound, uses lower 1/2 fine with opportunities for improvement. Would like to see him land on ball of foot and hit off firm front side all the time. Length to swing with bat wrap start and inward turn of shoulder, both can be adjusted, shortening swing. Also can do a better job of getting on plane instead of slight scoop swing movement creating uphill path. 65.6 mph bat speed with 7 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 99 max exit velocity, averaged 86.1 mph. 342' max distance. Will have pull side power, opportunities for adjustments, bat/power can exceed with changes.
Arm: RH. INF-81 mph. Arm works well, will throw harder in future.
Defense: Actions present, solid 1st step, feet work well moving to baseball. Gets in good fielding position. Shows body control and agility present.
ATH: 7.19 runner in the 60. Runs well, moves well. 29.20 max vertical.
Vizual Edge: 79.01 Edge Score

Positional Profile: SS/RHP Solid tools with opportunities for improvements with adjustments. Will gain strength in future.
Body: 6-0, 166-pounds. Good build/frame to add strength in future.
Hit: RHH. Wide base to start, weight shift into back leg to initiate stride. Lands with knee bent moving to firm front side. Back foot has movement, moves forward and away from plate. Decent job of using lower 1/2. Can improve lower 1/2 with linear movement to plate, with balls away foot can move away as it is now. Pull approach, long swing created with barrel tip movement to trigger swing, also has scoop swing movement creating uphill path. Would benefit of quieting movement to trigger swing not getting into barrel tip, take more direct path to baseball. Must learn to hit where pitched, using all fields. 66.1 mph bat speed with 6 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 92 max exit velocity, averaged 78.4 mph. 341' max distance. Power developing to pull side. Contact consistency can improve with swing adjustments. Working to get on plane creating line drive contact will be a huge benefit.
Arm: RH. INF-82 mph. Arm works well, throws from all angles. Will continue to improve.
Defense: Solid defender, good 1st step, feet work well moving body to position to field baseball. Fields ball deep, can improve fielding out front along with playing thru baseball.
ATH: 7.28 runner in the 60. 1.75 and 4.04 in the 10 and 30 yard splits. Runs well, will improve with added strength and physical maturity. 30.20 max vertical.
