6'7, 210-pound, LHH hits from an athletic, balanced, and slightly open stance and begins with the bat resting comfortably on his shoulder, uses a rhythmed stride/small leg kick and a lifting and tilting of his hands to get himself ready to go.  Lower half fires through the zone and give him a strong and balanced base to operate on, lower half’s aggressiveness allows his barrel to get in a good place and promotes a bat path that comes up through the zone and really allows him to drive the ball in the air.  Athletic and lanky build allow him to get good extension through the ball and produced a couple of balls to the warning track in BP and a deep triple in game play.  Defensively, showed average hands and footwork around the bag, but displayed a very clean transfer and arm action from an over-the-top arm slot that probably comes from having been a pitcher, arm showed accuracy and good carry. Duffield has continued to show improvements to his game.
