The 6-foot-2, 193-pound third projectable third baseman showcased a large frame with some physicality. The right-handed hitter starts in a bent, even stance utilizing a toe-tap with sink to initiate his swing. Comfortability in a wide lower half with present fluidity allowed for a slightly uphill barrel path generating an 80 mph bat-exit velocity during batting practice. The third baseman featured adequate footwork with range to both sides. Demonstrated some stiffness upon fielding, but played low to the ground with fluidity in accurate 73 mph throws across the diamond. The primary right-handed pitcher sat 73-75 mph from a fluid, high ¾ arm-slot mixing in an 11/5, 63-65 mph curveball.
