Hits: RHH. Starts in a wide, balanced stance with hands held at shoulder height, no stride to get front foot down. Slightly uphill path contact with an uphill two-handed finish, showed some present pull side power during BP, as he continues to refine his swing we expect him to stand up a little more to free up his lower half to really work
