8/1/18
A righty bat that starts in a balanced setup. Uses a leg kick for timing, back leg lunch with an uphill path, generates natural ball flight to the middle of the field, swing offers a bit more strength than speed presently. Would be aided by adding more balance to swing. Natural tools are there. In the outfield he plays with quiet feet in his approach. Fields through the baseball nicely, on glove foot side. Ball skills are developing. Would like to see ball come out of a bit more of an over the top slot out there as he tends to drop to sidearm at times.
