A righty swinger that starts in a taller setup. Gets front foot down early for timing as hands move slightly back to launch. Contact type bat with a slightly uphill path. Natural tools are developing. Swing has some lift to it. Produced most natural ball flight to the middle of the field. In the outfield he gets to the ball in a timely fashion prior to slowing momentum a bit to ensure ball security at fielding. Uses a shuffle step for momentum before tossing it to home plate with accuracy and average strength. Two-way prospect. On the bump the southpaw has a slower paced tempo that speeds up at the height of his leg lift. Tall and fall type that finishes towards third base. Arm action is compact with a sweeping look to it. Arm comes through a high-¾ slot with fastball sitting 70-74 mph. The pitch stays mostly true through the zone. Changeup is thrown with fastball armspeed showing a bit more dive than the heater at 66-68 mph. Breaking ball has a near 12/6 look to it with signs of sharpness at 56-60 mph. At first base he moves athletically off the bag with fluid actions. Ball skills are adequate but there is room for improvement.
