Quickness is present in an average frame at 5-foot-11, 147 pounds.  Ran a 7.06 sixty.  Left handed hitter works from a tall base and open stance.  Loads back with the hands.  Bat heads works to a vertical position.  Short stride gets to a level swing, with average bat speed, wanting extension.  Handsy and loose, there is some feel for the barrel.  Pull emphasis.  Repeats the swing.  Clean and aggressive through the ball in the outfield.  Good exchange to a long arm swing and over-the-top slot with quickness and looseness.  Accuracy showed at 79 mph out of the hand.  

On the bump, uses an average leg kick, separating the hands low.  Fastball ranged 75-77 with run to the arm-side.  Good feel for location to his glove side. Breaking ball lacked defined rotation at times, flashing 2/8 tilt with good hand speed at 66-67.  Straight change-up is probably second pitch at this time, sitting 69-73 with occasional arm side run and good deception.  Short arm swing gets to a high-3/4 slot.  Level and on-line throughout, will fall to the 3B side at times on his finish.
