Fastball topped out at 91 mph, has been up to 93 mph at past PG events, fastball has some life down in the zone. Curveball is thrown with arm speed and power up to 77 mph, tight hard spin and some downer depth, can manipulate the shape and velocity on the curveball. Very athletic overall operation that he repeats well. 7.28 runner in the sixty. Secondary third baseman on defense, has quick lateral actions with clean glove work to the back hand, can throw from multiple arm slots, easy athletic actions charging the ball, big arm strength when on top. Right handed hitter, sets up in a medium base with a short stride into contact, gets on plane early and stays there, big present bat speed and usable power, has barrel skills and accuracy and loud mid field to pull side contact.
