Strong, physical body type and projectable frame. Hits from a balanced, square stance at the plate. Smooth back load and minimal stride. Showed quick hands and bat speed through the zone. Strength and power present. Drove one deep to left field but outfielder made a great catch to rob a for-sure multi-RBI double. Continues to get better every time we see him. Body is really starting to fill out and looks really good. Will make an impact at the next level in the middle of the lineup with out a doubt.
