| Summary: One of the best two sport prospects in the 2026 class, as he is a top quarterback prospect, and a legit draft prospect on the baseball side too. His overall athleticism shines in the field, at the plate, and on the mound too. His fastball is into the mid-90s and he features a promising curveball too. On the other side of the ball he is a lefty swinging middle infielder with quality bat-to-ball skills and an advanced approach. There is plenty of bat speed and he has strong hands at the point of attack. While there isn’t a ton of power currently, average to better potential in the tool is certainly feasible. In the field he has good hands and that arm from the mound plays in the field and he will be able to stick on the left side just fine. | |||||||||||
