Recruiting Service evaluation - A LHP/1B who attended LaCosta High School.  He has a nice strong build with long limbs and showed solid two-way potential.  On the mound...has a low effort delivery and throws with a short arm action.  He has an online delivery and his arm works well producing nice armside run on his fastball.  His change-up has nice sinking action and he also shows a solid 1 to 7 curveball.  Indicates a lot of room for increased velocity.  At the plate, he makes consistent contact but can get a little too long in his swing causing other parts of his swing to go array.  At first base, he has good feel around the bag with soft hands.  He appears to be very comfortable on the field...an above average fielder.  A solid student that could attract attention from mid to higher-level college programs in America.

Go Cats!!
