Medium, strong looking frame with present lower half strength and room to physically mature. Primary right-handed pitcher that uses a coiled leg lift into balance, drop and drive lower half mechanics down the slope and displayed a longer arm swing into release. Fastball worked in the upper-70s for the duration of his outing, topping at 81 mph from a extended three-quarters arm slot.

Incorporates slightly segmented actions into the fielding process, bending slightly at the waist to field and works into a low arm slot to throw. Recorded arm strength up to 78 mph across the diamond during drills. Left-handed hitter that hits from an upright, open stance with a high hand set, high back elbow and a small stride for timing. Incorporates rotational lower half movements and creates plenty of torque to get the barrel going prior to impact.

Repeatable swing that translated well into game action, will improve with minor adjustments to his swing and maturity.
