8/1/18
A right-handed hitter that starts in an athletic stance. Very efficient load that leads to back leg launch, smooth swinger with pull side tendencies, balanced offering of strength/speed through the zone. Would be aided by leveling out swing as he tends to get uphill at times. In the outfield he plays with fluidity to his actions. Smooth transfer through fielding, maintaining momentum into throws.
