6-foot-1, 190-pound, RHH hits from a wider and even stance with some fairly high hand positioning, uses a short stride and a movement back with his hands to get loaded, can look a little stiff at times, lower half gets through but stays very tall throughout his swing, should use height for leverage, bat path starts a little steep because of his hand positioning but is able to flatten out and provide some lift at the end, can get armsy, hit balls hard and low back up the middle in BP.  Defensively, showed good footwork and hands while playing around and through the ball well, used a clean exchange and a short arm action through an over-the-top slot to produce accurate throws across the infield.
