At the plate he creates excellent energy with his lower half through a leg kick load and well timed weight shift. Hands stay noticeable loose during loading sequence. Well above average strength and bat speed. Showed the ability to consistently make hard contact and drive the ball in the gap. Behind the dish, he starts somewhat high in his crouch in an off balanced stance. Creates good direction towards second base. Obvious quickness in his hands. Speed in his transfer helps make up for present arm strength. Pop times ranged between 2.09 to 2.21.
