Hands stay inside, short and quick to the ball, slightly uphill line drive swing with extension through the ball, exit velocity of 77. In the outfield, gets behind the ball and fields through it with above average hands, works through the ball to a quick clean exchange, throws from a high three-quarters arm slot, position velocity was 82. Showed versatility taking balls in the infield where his velocity was 76. Ran a 4.44 home to first.
