He hits from the left side from an upright relaxed stance, leg kick stride on line, smooth load back, hips rotate completely with some violence, some balance during his swing. Short to the ball, keeps hands inside, slightly uphill swing path with extension through ball, showed good approach primarily working the middle of the field, swing has some natural loft, potential to add power as he gets stronger and for ball to carry in the gaps, exit velocity was 77. In the outfield, gets body behind ball and fields with average hands. Works through ball, throws from a three-quarters arm slot, position velocity was 75.
