6-foot-1, 215-pound thicker build. From the crouch, he shows good footwork but can improve by staying low on his throws as he has a tendency to stand up early. Reached pop times between 2.07-2.12 throwing with 70 mph arm strength. At first base he moves well around the base with bigger body frame, threw with 75 mph arm strength across the infield. Offensively, he starts from a balanced stance, uses a fluid hands back to shoulder trigger, line drive production showing doubles type power.
