(66.8 mph bat speed average). (19.6 mph hand speed average). Begins in a narrow closed stance with a controlled load, then uses a long stride. Has developing bat speed, long flat swing plane and good extension on his finish. Barreled up some balls with loud contact. Gap to gap approach. Capable in the outfield, his throws to the bases were maxed out at 64 mph; has developing soft hands, choppy developing feet, and a natural exchange.

Projectable on the mound, showing developing arm speed he used a high ¾ arm angle and a consistent arm action. Feel type pitcher who shows some effort. Showed a consistent balance point. Lands closed with a falling off finish. Produced a fastball that came in at 67-68 mph; shows arm side command and running sinking action. (Max spin 1389; Avg 1236). Throws a straight changeup.
