Wide, even stance with slight bend in the knees as the hands start with minor wiggle out over the plate.

Impressive swing patterns with ability to match the pitch plane early and often in the path, had no issues getting long through extension either with long levers jolting through the baseball at the front of the plate. Showcased the ability to stay in the legs at the plate and sink down with adjustability on the low pitch.
