(18.4 mph hand speed average). Starts in a balanced open stance with a high load, then uses a closed small stride.

Solid while in the infield, made throws up to 66 mph; had developing hands, a natural exchange, and developing consistent footwork. Movements laterally were developing and he fields the ball out front. Showed consistent accuracy to the base and a high ¾ slot.
