Strong, physical frame with present strength in both halves, advanced for the class and age. Ran a 7.62 60-yard dash. Primary outfielder, fields it to the side with one hand, works through it well, longer gather and exchange process, mid 80's arm strength, accurate throws to the bag, overall solid actions and a gamelike round out there. Secondary first baseman, two hand funnel out front, some extra steps on throws to third, footwork is solid around the bag, receives it well and made accurate throws. Threw on the mound as well, right-handed pitcher, side step into belt high leg lift, full arm path in the back to a high three-quarters slot, some arm side life on the mid 80's fastball that topped at 85-mph, mixed in tight upper 70's slider as well early in the count, solid mix here with a feel for the zone. Right-handed hitter, wide base, even feet, some raw power here, loud when squared up, power projection is here, some mishits in the round but flashed it plenty to see the projection in the box, gets to his power easily and lets the strength play. Solid all-around player with a chance to improve across the board. Named to the 2024 Sunshine East Top Prospect List.
