Drifts into contact while showing an average effort from the legs.

Impressive barrel awareness and control, finding the sweet spot with some consistency. Fairly short and direct swing with not much wasted movement.

Short take back from a standard 3/4 arm slot. INF - 79 MPH. Quick, active feet with the hands staying out in front. Fundamental approach with fluid actions.
