Funke is a talented, young left-handed hitting outfield prospect. He begins with a square stance with the hands relaxed just off the back shoulder. The bat then takes a slightly uphill path through the hitting zone and finishes through contact. In the outfield, Funke showed some athleticism as he went through the defensive portion. The feet moved well to get him into position, his exchange was clean and the arm was quick. He also had a vertical of 55.1 cm.
