Scouting Report

Baseball Factory

If he isn't the top hitting prospect in the 2008 class, he is certainly on a very short list of candidates for the honor. He features a rare combination of natural hitting ability and exciting raw power, made even more interesting because he hits from the left side of the plate. He has present strength on a large 6-foot-4 inch frame, and also handles the glove very well at first base - making him a well rounded prospect.

.380 average he needs to bat .500 then he would be a prospect to me!!!

If that fron foot didnt roll so much he would swing with so much more contact and power great fundumentals though

Bryan Posted: Sep 26, 2008 at 03:27 PM EDT

he's nasty. I was all state and got a chance to pitch against him.

Grant Posted: Jul 28, 2008 at 04:26 PM EDT

nice agressive approach to hitting with good hip movement

Tony Posted: Jul 21, 2008 at 03:33 PM EDT

alot of head movement at the plate, but balanced lower half. will look good in the powder blue with a little more weight on him

Wow i dont get how a kid hitting .380 in high school is a top prospect.
