On the bump the right-hander has fluid tempo to his lower effort delivery. A drop and drive type guy who lands in line to home plate at foot strike. Arm strength is above average with developing arm speed through a high-¾ slot.  Fastball showed regular arm side action sitting 73-77 mph. Will work either side with the pitch. Offers a gradual breaking, 11/5 shaped curveball at 59-62 mph. The pitch has big, downward action and sharpness should increase as velocity does. Also showed a changeup, near fastball arm speed at 67-68 mph. The pitch has similar action to the fastball with heavier fade. A right-handed hitter that starts in a  balanced setup. Uses an easy back load during his short stride forward. Barrel has some drag as it works on a level plane. Strength is his top tool at the plate. Displayed present barrel jump when he squared the baseball up. Could be a middle of the lineup guy as he matures and bat speed catches up to strength. Showcased above average athleticism and exchange skills behind the dish. Should see easy increases in pop times with maturity alone. A definite prospect to follow that can do multiple things well on the baseball field.
