  Scouting Report & Links      
         
  Physical Description: Medium frame. No remaining projection.

Hit: Starts slightly open with his hands high. Simple swing mechanics. Uppercut swing. All-fields approach. Fringy contact skills. Will take a walk, but also strike out.

Power: Plus raw power. Produces quality exit velocities. Could stand to pull the ball in the air more frequently, but batted ball angles are solid for the most part.

Run: Below-average speed. Solid baserunning instincts.

Field: Plays both first base and left field

Arm: Solid-average arm strength.		   Career Notes: Originally drafted by the Reds in the 15th round of the 2019 draft after attending Indiana. Released after the 2022 season and spent the 2023 season playing indy ball. Signed with the Cardinals ahead of the 2024 season. Selected during the minor league phase of the 2025 Rule 5 draft.

Summation: Profiles as a bat-first organizational depth player. Provides another option in the high minors capable of playing a few positions.
