March is a built outfielder and left-handed hitter. He has an athletic setup and generates rhythm throughout his smooth stroke.

He gets tremendous extension and uses his lower half well. In the outfield, he has a quick first step and average footwork. He utilizes a pro step to get the ball out of his glove quickly. His long arm action gives him a little bit of carry on throws that were fairly accurate.
