The setup is wide in base and the front foot gains minimal ground to the swing. The path is long and uphill through the baseball.

Mykytiw is a projectable 6-foot-1, 190 pound right-handed hitting corner infield prospect. At this event, he had an exit velocity of 83 mph off the tee. He hits out of an athletic stance, with his feet square to the pitcher. The hands set off the back shoulder, with the bat directed back at the pitcher. He uses a leg lift to initiate the transfer of weight to the back leg, before guiding the bat-head through the hitting zone on a direct path. He extends well through contact and stays on plane.

Defensively, he was 70 mph across the diamond. He uses deliberate actions to work into a balanced fielding position, with the glove out in front. As he transitions into the throwing position, the feet create a straight line to the target and the hips and shoulder follow. He finishes through the play, with a short arm-swing.
