Quick Hit
"Big physical frame, still potential to get even stronger. Simple swing, falls down into contact for more power. Quick hands to get the bat through the zone. Whippy arm action across the diamond. Chests the ball up and fields it a little off center of his body. A lot of high pitches in the zone, needs to focus on finishing ti work knees on the hitter. FB rides through the zone, but has more in take for sure. Can spin off-speed and keeps delivery the same."
