A right-handed hitter that starts in a balanced setup. Loading sequence is fluid, initiated by a leg kick. Uses an easy back movement with hands prior to launch. Path is slightly downhill, showing above average bat speed through the zone. Bat has noticeable whip through contact. More pop to come as he fills out a frame that has room to add strength. In the outfield, he takes more of a cautious approach while staying in line with the ball. Tends to field the ball out front but in the center of his body. Arm slot is a lower 3/4 with a long motion. arm strength is still developing. On the mound, the right-handed pitcher throws with an average tempo to the plate. Utilizes his longer lower half to gain momentum by pushing his back leg hard up and over. Inverts his shoulder up to rotate his upper half. Front foot lands straight to the plate upon impact. Releases the ball from a ¾ arm slot. Fastball shows some natural arm side run downhill. Curveball comes in on a 12-6 tilt with gradual break. Rounds out his offerings with a changeup. Pitch has some downward movement and is thrown with a similar arm speed.
