5-foot-10, 165-pound, average athletic frame, a well proportioned athlete. A right-handed hitting infielder, at the plate, feet are even, slightly wider than shoulder width, hands are loaded, set just below the shoulders. Lower half is active, gains a good amount of ground with stride foot. The swing is level through the zone, hands are inside the baseball looking to sprays it to all fields.  More of a line drive approach, gets out on the front foot a tick, good bat to ball skills. The exit velocity was clocked at 83 mph and ran a 7.41 sixty-yard dash. Defensively, the feet and hands work together, soft glove out front, working lower to the ground. The arm action is short and clean on the back side, clocked at 76 mph. All turns around the bag were performed correct. Projecting out to play more second base at the higher levels.
