Buyers stands 6-foot-1, 185-pounds with great size. In the outfield Buyers looks like a sound fundamental defensive player with proper form staying behind the ball and receiving ground balls in front of his left foot. His throws are a little stiff at this time and could be improved simply by learning to finish through his throws with more momentum falling towards his targets. With a strong lower half broad shoulders, Buyers is built like a true corner outfielder at the next level. At the plate he swings from the left side and loads with a leg kick. He shows a lot of strength and potential but has a few mechanical issues that need to be addressed before he realizes his strength at the plate. He tested at a 78 mph exit speed. His leg kick seems to throw his timing off a bit right now keeping him on his backside and not allowing him to transfer any weight and never maximize his lower half. With the natural strength and frame Buyers has, if and when he learns to really drive his lower half he's going to see added bat speed an in turn some real power. His frame, natural strength, and swinging from the left side make him worth keeping an eye on as he develops the mechanical side of his swing.
