Medium, athletic frame with square shoulders and a lean build, has room to fill throughout moving forward. Ran a 6.85 60-yard dash. Primary outfielder, fields the ball out front and remains low throughout release, will continue to refine overall footwork, effort at release, ball comes out cleanly and shows very nice arm strength and carry to intended base while working on top of ball. Lower to the ball in the infield as well, lower slot on throws across with some carry, shows quickness to footwork and fields the ball out front. Left-handed hitter, begins with a high hand set and back elbow at the plate, simple weight shift moving into contact. Stays compact to the ball and gets the barrel out front with some present hand speed and quickness. Ball comes off well to the middle and pull side parts of field when on time, works on a linear plane through the zone. Good student. Named to Sunshine Northeast Top Prospect List.
