Offensively: LHH - Balanced, slightly open setup as the barrel started downward, idle on the back of the shoulder. Utilized a toe tap stride while entering the hitting zone through a flat, horizontal angle yielding a line drive approach during batting practice. Stayed mostly middle-pull side while holding the backside in the posture, mostly upright while hitting into a stiff front side. Recorded an 85 mph peak bat-exit velocity per Trackman Baseball with impressive bat to ball skills at the plate (84% on-plane efficiency) giving confidence in his ability to handle the bat. 
Defensively: The primary third baseman featured adequate footwork with the weight slightly over the toes on the approach; showed the glove hand early from a medium-low posture and funneled into the belt loop. The arm worked from a fluid, ¾ slot across the diamond and could alter angles on the run; 74 mph arm strength .. The outfielder flashed attacking footwork as the glove hand worked aggressively out in front, good downhill chest angles early in routes creating feel for pace; a 77 mph arm strength was accurate from a long takeaway.
