A right-handed hitter that starts in an athletic stance. Bat starts and stays vertical through load and into launch. Goes with leg kick for timing/energy. A fluid swinger that looks comfortable in the box. Path is slightly uphill with barrel accelerating in the middle of his body. Bat is quick with some strength to his hands. A contact type guy at this stage with more to come as he matures physically. In the outfield he plays low with aggressive footwork in his approach. Fields the ball in the middle of his body, displaying above average ball skills. Would be aided by learning to play one-handed through the ball to maintain momentum into throws. Arm strength is developing. In the infield he reacts well off the bat, shows quickness to his feet, glove is average to above average for class, made all the plays in defensive eval. Profiles as a second baseman presently.
