Defensively, he projects as a second baseman at the next level. Footwork is clean and fluid, with above average lateral mobility. Glove skills are there and he plays with confidence on the move. Did a nice job of getting rid of the ball quickly. At the plate he has impressive natural tools for his frame. Creates excellent energy with his lower half through his leg kick load and well timed weight shift. Hands stay simple prior to getting the bat through the zone on a mostly level path. Ball comes off his bat well, showing the ability to use the whole field.
