Hit into a stiff front side with weight shift on occasion generating a peak bat-exit velocity of 90 mph according to Trackman Baseball. High level bat to ball skills and showed extra base hit prowess during batting practice. 328 foot maximum batted ball distance was more than impressive during his round. Defensively: The primary backstop featured advanced defensive abilities with solid receiving skills out of a low setup showing a soft glove hand at the catch point.
