An imposing 6-foot-3, 273-pound, Tencza has game-changing strength which provides easy top-echelon power. The first-baseman moves extremely well for his size and it helps him on both sides of the ball

A lineman on the gridiron, Tencza stands an imposing 6-foot-3, 273 pounds, and moves extremely well for his size. The right-handed hitter is strong, and that strength allows him to mishit balls while still driving them a long way, with a good example of this being his standup triple during his Friday game against the Rawlings Tigers, which hit off the right field fence. The right-handed hitter stands upright at the plate with a slightly open stance. In stride, Tencza utilizes a simple trigger with a selective aggressive approach at the plate.
