On his throws to second he shows a fast arm, throws from a high-3/4 slot, arm strength 74 mph, pop time 2.03-2.16 and accurate. Catch and throw type, impressed showing solid mechanics. At the plate he starts wide and open, relaxed approach, uses a knee lift on the pitch. His path to the ball is long, slightly uphill bat plane, long extension, one arm shoulder height finish with balance. Exit velocity was 76 mph.

On the pitch he loads back, leg lift for timing, short path to the ball, slightly inclined through the zone, extension through contact, shoulder height finish.
