Dylan is a 2019 grad that projects as a middle infielder and RHP. Defensively, Dylan showed some quickness/body control with the ability to square/body up balls.

At the plate, this lefty hits with an athletic, balanced, square setup with smooth hands. He has an aggressive approach at the plate with some bat speed. Getting more lower half drive and working on the finish to his swing will be key to his development.

He set a good tempo from 60 ft 6 inches as he filled up the zone with a 2 pitch mix. He also showed a calmness on the mound to get out of tough situations. As Dylan continues to grow and mature physically/mentally, he will see his abilities take a leap to the next level tier. He has a bulldog attitude, is a hard worker, and is a great teammate.
