Defensively Pope shows loose arm action, accuracy on throws, average arm strength, average hands, fluid footwork, clean exchange, natural instincts with solid corner actions. Pope shows good overall athletic ability for his position. Offensively Pope has average bat speed from the right side and had an 82 mph exit velocity off the tee. He hits from a balanced setup, has a short stride, uses his lower half, has good overall balance, has an aggressive approach, level swing but needs to get on top of the ball more at times, has a fluid rhythm and is a line drive type hitter.
