In the infield, his footwork is average. Fields the ball back on his heels and funnels up to his chest. Developing glove skills. Throws from a 3/4 arm slot with some accuracy. A right-handed hitter that starts in a tall, open setup. Gets back to even through a short stride. Barrel stays fluid during loading sequence. Swing is compact on a level path. Strength and bat speed are above average tools. Was at this best when he worked the middle of the field. A line drive guy with some gap ability. On the mound the right-hander has an uptempo delivery that requires some effort. A drop and drive type guy that lands in line at foot strike. Momentum carries him to the first base line at finish. Works through a high-3/4 slot with developing arm speed. Fastball was mostly true through the zone, working both sides of the plate. Spins an 11/5 shaped breaking ball with some sharpness to it. Puts good pitch on the spin that was consistently in the zone. Tends to slow arm a bit on his changeup. The pitch had some arm side run to it. Still developing feel for the offering.

5-foot-11, 170-pounds average frame. Uses a slower tempo to his low effort delivery. Working through a high-¾ slot his fastball sits 74-76 mph. Showed good feel for the outer half of the plate, needs to work on being able to locate the pitch on the inner half. His best offspeed pitch is his big breaking, 11/5 shaped curveball that he uses to freeze righties.
