Positional Profile: SS/RHP
Body: 6-1, 168-pounds.
Delivery: Works from a semi wind-up, feeder shifted to the first base side of the rubber, with toes pointed to the third base line, and hands set chin high. Controlled wind and keeping eyes on target, glove taps as front foot lifts into loose stride down the mound. The front foot lands closed with crossbody fire, finishing with a high trail leg in momentum carrying back to first base line.
Arm Action: RH. The handset above the belt as the body works through the windup before the hands break with a glove tap into a low 3/4 arm release.
FB: T81, 76-79 mph. T2225, 2144 average rpm.
SL: 69-70 mph. T2174, 2116 average rpm.
ATH: 7.46 runner in the 60. 1.72 and 4.11 in the 10 and 30 yard splits. 17.90 max vertical.
Positional Profile: SS/RHP
Body: 6-1, 168-pounds.
Hit: RHH. Feet are set more than shoulder-width apart, with an open front foot, and weight shifted back over a bent rear leg. The upper half starts slightly preloaded with hands ear-high, stacked over the rear foot, and knob pointed down and angled towards the catcher. The hands stay high and wag before breaking into the swing. The lower half breaks into a quick leg lift into a long, deep stride; hips flip open when the front foot lands, causing hands to work tight to the body through the zone with uphill contact on the ball. 63.9 mph bat speed with 13 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 90 max exit velocity, averaged 83.4 mph. 299' max distance.
Arm: RH. INF-73 mph. Fields the ball near center frame before funneling to the belt and breaking into a low 3/4 arm release. Also shows ability to throw a sidearm quick throw across the body.
Defense: Feet are shoulder-width apart on prep step with a significant bend in the waist. Stays low to the ball on approach, keeping glove hand in front. Works body position around the ball to keep square to target. Comfortable fielding the ball in front as well as forehand and backhand.
ATH: 7.46 runner in the 60. 1.72 and 4.11 in the 10 and 30 yard splits. 17.90 max vertical.
Vizual Edge: 62.4 Edge Score
Positional Profile: SS/RHP
Body: 5-11, 156-pounds.
Delivery: Even tempo'd windup, calm gather with short lift, closed landing, finishing across body with smooth deceleration/
Arm Action: RH. Low 3/4 slot, hands break at letters boucning into a full arm swing. Pinch w/elbow lead in the back to sling out front.
FB: T78, 75-77 mph. T2403, 2328 average rpm.
SL: 67-70 mph. T2265, 2203 average rpm.
CH: 73-75 mph. T1869, 1685 average rpm.

Power: 89 max exit velocity, averaged 76.7 mph. 331' max distance.
Arm: RH. INF-68 mph. Higher 3/4 slot throws with high gloveside follow.
Defense: Balance in approach on ground balls. Fields ball in center of frame and funnels ball to belt.
ATH: 17.20 max vertical.
Vizual Edge: 58.57 Edge Score
