Solid 5-foot-8, 200 pound frame with a strong lower half. Hits from a taller, balanced, slightly open stance. Rhythmic hand load and inverted knee load with short stride. Generates good lower half involvement and showed quick bat speed with an exit velo of 79 mph. Level swing path and finishes tall. Gap-to-gap type hitter with some power. Nice fielding actions at third base. Plays through the ball with good hands and fluid footwork. Quick, clean exchange, shorter arm actions, and throws from a lower three-quarters arm slot at 81 mph. Controlled side step wind-up and delivery. Gets to a tall balance point. Creates quick arm speed through release with strong lower half drive. Shorter arm action throwing from a low three-quarters slot with some effort. Lands square and falls off to the first base side. Fastball sat 77-79 mph and changeup was 73-75 mph. Showed and 65-66 mph curveball with 10/4 shape and gradual break and an 11/5 shape slider with tighter breaking action.
