Arm: INF - 80 mph.  Throws from a high 3/4 slot. Throws were accurate and showed good body control while throwing on the move.
Defense: Has size at 1B, makes him a good target. Good timing with stretches, showed some ability to pick balls in the dirt. Understands different stride directions. Glove work while fielding is average. Was consistent fielding balls, rythme fielding the ball needs some work.
