Standing at 5-foot-11, 181 pounds he is an extremely well put together, twitchy athlete.

He can cut himself off at times, but when he works through to extension, his natural strength has present power with more to come. Had a double in the game against Carolina and as he continues to get baseball reps the sky's the ceiling.
