Patten's ticket to the next level is at the plate. The big left-handed hitter uses an aggressive approach at the plate. On this occasion, he used a wooden bat and showed excellent bat control. He starts from an open stance with a bit of crouch. With quick hands and an uphill path to the ball, Patten showed obvious pull power in his swing. He projects as a middle of the order type bat. Patten will need to continue to improve his physique and foot speed; otherwise he may best used as a DH at the next level.
