Began in a narrow balanced stance with a handsy load, then used a closed small stride. Bat speed was developing, had an uphill long swing plane and high finish. Barreled up some balls with some loud contact. Gap to gap approach. Capable while in the infield, made throws up to 77 mph; had developing hands, a natural exchange, and developing consistent footwork. Fields the ball out front, movements laterally were developing. Showed consistent accuracy to the base with a consistent arm action and a ¾ slot. In the 60-yard dash, he clocked a time of 8.25. Capable on the mound, showing developing arm speed he had a ¾ arm angle with a consistent arm action. Feel type pitcher who uses some effort. Displays in line shoulders with a consistent balance point. Lands closed with a falling off finish. Threw his fastball 77-78 mph; showed running sinking action and command arm side around the zone. (Max spin 1895; Avg 1841). He showed arm side command and gradual fading action on his sharp changeup (69-70). Had slurvey action and glove side around the zone command on his slider (67-68). (Max spin 1547; Avg 1547).
