Career
Notes: Has battled injuries throughout his career. Was
a highly regarded member of the 2019 draft class out of high
school, ranked as high as the top 50 in the class at times, but
opted to attend Auburn after an injury-plagued senior spring
caused his stock to fall. Both sophomore and junior seasons
ended prematurely due to injury, the latter injury resulting in
Tommy John surgery that led to his not making his professional
debut until August 2023.
Summation: Potential
relief arm with an intriguing two-pitch mix. Somewhat of a
gamble due to his significant injury history, including a Tommy
John surgery he was still rehabbing when he signed, but was a
highly regarded high schooler and was able to succeed in the
SEC.
Note: This page will be
updated with a complete scouting report after the scouting team
has seen the player in person.
