Tall frame and slender build with room to fill. Primary shortstop with a passive approach, waits back on the ball and fields it out front with a clean funnel to the center. Uphill thrower with a longer transfer and release, recorded throws at 78 mph across the diamond. Developing quickness/agility, will improve as he shows some urgency to his actions. Secondary right-handed pitcher with drop and drive lower half mechanics, utilizes a long arm action with deep plunge in the back. Comes from a three-quarters slot and really pronates out of the hand, showed a curveball and a good changeup with sink and fade that he tunneled well. Was aware of his surroundings on the mound, showed a good pickoff move to first base. Right-handed hitter with a slightly open stance and a wide base. High back elbow set with a simple and repeatable operation overall, utilizes a toe tap trigger. Short swing with a downhill swing path, hit most balls on the ground, limited impact in this look but the swing is mechanically sound with a solid base to build from.
