5-foot-10, 145 pound infield prospect hits from the right side out of a narrow stance. Creates nice separation into his load followed by a slight uphill path. Made solid contact throughout his round and displayed power in his swing too. Recorded an 84 mph exit velocity. In the infield he plays low using direct footwork.
