Medium, athletic frame with square shoulders and long limbs, projectable frame with room to fill throughout moving forward. Ran a 7.41 60-yard dash. Primary outfielder, sound actions moving to the ball and fields it out front, longer arm action through the back, works on top and shows present carry and strength on throws to intended target. Attacked ball at first base, moves around on feet well and comes through the ball, strong arm. Also pitched, tall delivery and can continue to incorporate additional lower half into drive, shows looseness to arm action working to a three-quarters release point. Fastball topped out at 76 mph with flashes of running life, filled the zone well and induced weaker contact coming off. Can maintain arm speed on curveball more moving forward, sweeping life up to 62 mph. Right-handed hitter, moving parts to load but shows rhythm to hands, weight gathers on backside. Stays shorter to the ball with quickness and looseness in hands, best contact and strength when getting the barrel extended out front, line drive contact to pull side, tools to build upon.
