Five-foot-10, 180-pounds, medium frame with proportional strength throughout. Thick, strong lower half. Squared shoulders with musculature and a barrel chest. Defensively James shows above average arm strength with accuracy on throws that show some life from an over-the-top slot. He plays through the ball very well and shows an understanding of angles. Hands are soft, footwork is fluid, and his exchanges are clean. James has the look of a converted infielder in the outfield with his athleticism. At the plate he shows a balanced setup with a short stride to initiate his swing. Consistent approach to hitting. Maintains barrel on a consistent uphill path throughout his swing. Throws hands at the ball at times. When his timing is on he shows the ability to drive ball into the gap with easy power particularly to the pull side. Hit a homerun during his BP round. Hands are quick and maintains his balance through his swing to finish.
