He has good first step quickness and plays through the ball with fluid foot work. He has solid infield actions receiving the ball with soft hands. He uses a quick exchange and accurate arm. He threw the ball 75 mph across the infield at the Top Prospects Games. Offensively he has a short compact swing that allows him to spray the ball to all fields. He produces exit velocity up to 82 mph. Overall Van Dover is one of the best defensive players in the class, as he add strength his offensive game should improve as well.
