Rangy body with long levers and room to add strength.  Right handed hitter is balanced, slightly open in setup.  Flat barrel uses a lot of waggle to set timing.  Loses some feel for barrel positioning with the movement.  Leg kick and strides back to even.  Average bat speed.  Advanced ability to catch the ball at SS.  Longer arm stroke with some carry and accuracy.  Back hand side needs reps and work.
