He is a solid two way player with with advanced pitchability and above average feel for the barrell with bat speed. On the mound he pitches from a low 3/4 slot with a fastball which works 83-86 mph and up to 88 mph. He compliments the fastball with a slider and change up. The slider has Frissbee action and the change up has arm side run. Offensively he starts from an athletic stance, he uses a simple load stride combination. He attacks the baseball with fast bat speed. He shows the ability to drive the baseball out of the ball park to the pull side. Overall Richardson is an advanced two way player with strength and competes at a high level.
