Physical: Thick, durable 5-foot-6, 165lb build. 8.14 runner in the 60-yard dash.
Offensively: RHH. Balanced, even stance, as the barrel lays flat to begin. Utilized a controlled leg-lift stride to initiate the swing through a flat, rotational path into the hitting zone. Ability to extend on the ball at the front of the plate towards a whippy finish, producing a T74 mph exit velocity during a middle of the field approach. Added a lofty 67% fly ball rate via Trackman.
Defensively: The primary middle infielder featured a hop in the prep step. Showed off choppy footwork with quality timing from the center of his body. Kept momentum over the front side and delivered an accurate 72 mph arm-strength from a short H ¾ slot across the dirt.
Pitching: RHP. Sets up from the glove-side of the rubber; steady pace in the delivery, holding the line down the slope. Worked 71-72 mph on the FB (2049) for strikes, mixing a gradual, sweeping low-60’s curve with lateral tilt.
