Scouting Report:
Big, muscular, exceptionally strong frame with minimal
remaining projection but advanced athletic maturity for his age.
Hit tool is currently below average due to an
overaggressive, uphill approach that sells out for over-the-fence power, leaving him with high swing-and-miss risk against
advanced pitching. Plus-to-better raw power, showcased by
115.5 mph peak exit velocity recorded at the MLB Draft Combine. Lifts the ball
to all fields. Flashes above-average straight-line speed, but
baserunning instincts are raw. Slow first step, raw speed
currently plays down during live game action. Possesses the
athletic tools to handle center field, but needs to improve
routes or he may end up in right field. Plus arm with easy
mechanics, has been clocked at 94 mph. Reportedly led all high
school players in the nation with 19 home runs in 2026. Received
a record bonus for a ninth-round pick. Was committed to
Mississippi State. Intriguing high-risk, high-reward prospect.
