Hitting: At the plates has a small crouch with his bat over his back shoulder. Small front leg motion during the clean hand load cleared space to get his barrel through the phone. Produced line drives with some lift up the middle.

 Fielding: In the outfield opens his hips quickly getting around the baseball. Fields off of his left leg taking a small stutter step and throwing with some tail over the top.
