In the infield, rounds the ball and fields with a wider base and above average hands. Clean exchange, throws from a high three-quarters arm slot, velocity was 81. Ran a 4.00 home to first. On the mound, throws from a high three-quarters arm slot, short free arm action that is quick, some effort to his delivery.

Change-up was 70-71 with some armspeed and run to it.
