Right handed hitter, sets up in an open stance with a high back elbow in his load, lays the barrel back, tight lower half turns and uses his lower half well, creates bat speed, has some lift in his swing and the ball comes off his barrel hard, projectable hitting tools. 7.05 runner in the sixty. Primary shortstop on defense, has athletic actions and can play on the move, fields the ball cleanly, nice and quick arm with plenty of carry on his throws, left side infield tools. Took a turn on the mound, gets good drive down the mound with a long stride and good extension, loose 3/4's arm action, ball comes out of his hand easily. Fastball topped out at 83 mph with more there. Slider base was a nice pitch with some tightness and depth and good feel for landing. Pronated over a change up and got good fading life. Has potential on the mound with further development. Good student. Named to the PG Mid-South HS All-State Games Top Prospect List.
