A right-handed hitter, feet are even, hands are loose at the shoulders. Lower half is under control, simple pick up with gaining ground with stride foot. The back half could be engaged a bit more. The swing is short and quick to the baseball, path is level through the zone, finishes the swing with two hands. The tee exit velocity was clocked at 75 mph, hard contact in batting practice and ran a 7.75 sixty yard dash. Defensively, has soft hands, works from the ground up, feet move throughout.

Back hand play was performed correct and slow roller lay was smooth.  The glove arm could be stronger, will help with velocity and flight. Strength is a must.
