An athletic corner outfielder that showed soft hands with quick, fluid footwork, and clean exchanges. A long, loose arm action into a high-3/4 release, Preston showed quality arm strength with accuracy and easy carry on throws, posting a positional velocity of 84 mph from outfield and 80 mph across infield.
