(18.4 mph hand speed average). Begins in a crouched wide stance with a controlled load, then uses a small stride. Bat speed is developing, shows a flat simple swing plane and level finish. He barreled up some balls with some loud contact. Gap to gap approach. Capable from the outfield, his best throws to the bases were registered at 74 mph; had developing soft hands, developing consistent footwork, and a natural exchange.

Projectable on the mound, showing developing arm speed he had a high ¾ arm angle with a short arm action. Feel type pitcher and showed effort. Displays in line shoulders and a consistent balance point. Lands closed with a falling off finish. Sat with his fastball at 75-76 mph; shows running sinking action and arm side command. (Max spin 2206; Avg 2137). His curveball (66-68) has slurvey action and glove side around the zone control. (Max spin 2283; Avg 2176). Straight changeup (70-71).
