Strong, athletic body type. 5-foot-11, 175 pound frame with even more room to fill out. Hits from an athletic, balanced, slightly crouched stance. Has a small leg kick and short quick rock-back load. Does a nice job incorporating his lower half into his swing. Explosive bat speed and very quick hands. Exit velo 83 mph. More of a level swing path with good extension through contact and stays on the ball well to all fields. Line drive, gap-to-gap type hitter with occasional pop. Attacks the baseball and plays through it in the outfield. Fluid footwork into crow-hop with a clean, quick exchange. Throws with shorter arm actions from a high three-quarters arm slot. Ran a 3.81 home-to-first.
