A two-sport outfielder that has elite level speed. He batted leadoff for his team today and fit nicely into that spot going 3-3 and a sac fly. He also added two steals on the base path.

Already committed to compete at the next level to Wake Tech, but he still came out and showed some talent. He’s got a very powerful leg lift and swing. It’s a little reminiscent of Bryce Harper’s load where he brings all his weight into that back leg and then lets it unleash before the pitch gets to the plate. That load produced 2 hard hits one of which cleared the RF wall for a solo shot. His arm is a little lacking at SS but projects well to slot into a 2B spot.
