Swing mechanics are slightly armsy, room for more involvement with hands through center. (Defense) (OF) RH. OF velo 80. Attacks the ball well. Clean glove work. Consistent timing to release. Moves around well in the OF. Loose arm that showed some upside. Throws were on target, carried in air to home plate. Missed above the cut on occasion.
