More line drives than flyballs and groundballs with a peak exit velocity of 98 MPH via Trackman. Showed a repeatable swing with gap to gap power. Defensively: Starts with an upright /tall setup; uses prep hop while being aggressive. Hands are off to the side with a clean transfer. Long arm swing from a standard 3/4 arm slot. OF - 89 MPH. Good actions to the baseball with a plus arm.
