• Great job overall at camp! The coaching staff here at Dayton really appreciated your time and effort throughout the event. In the outfield you showed good footwork with an above average arm. At the plate you showed that you can stay inside the ball really well. You can get a little caught up sometimes with your swing. Try to get the barrel out and stay through the ball as long as possible. You also showed above average speed at the event. Thank you again for coming out to camp!

• Subject: Camp Evaluation Ethan, Thanks again for coming to our camp. I really appreciate you spending the day with us and hope that you had a good experience at camp. Below is the data we collected from you during the evaluation and also some general thoughts, which are a combination of the entire coaching staffs' notes. 60: 7.12 Exit Velo: 78 Position Velo: 80 Position notes: Showed solid, accurate arm from OF. Good glove actions, with longer, outfield-like arm actions in IF, which is to be expected since you play multiple positions. Swing notes: Good set-up and approach with solid bat speed. The foundation is here and is sound. A lot of room to grow and improve as you get stronger. Pitching Notes: FB 75-77, CB 62-63, CH 68-69 Very talented player. Excited to see growth the next few years. Velo will increase once he learns to engage his lower half and create more separation. Very good upside. Overall: Very solid 2021 prospect. Showed good speed, decent bat speed, and performed well on mound. Showed the athleticism to play multiple positions. We look forward to following your development and hope you come back to a future camp of ours!

• A righty swinger that starts in a balanced setup. Good athlete with obvious projectability in the box. Movements are fluid and well timed prior to launch, creating both timing and balance. Strength stands out through zone as the ball jumps off his bat to both fields. One of the loudest BPs we saw on the day. Has a chance to be dynamic once he twitches up. In the infield he has fluid actions with the ability to move out of his funnel and maintain them. Ball skills are developing. Skill set profiles at third base presently.
