5-foot-9, 155 pound frame with quickness in the body.  Good rhythm on the infield with a positional velocity of 78 mph.  Soft hands work with active feet.  Plays through the ball, loading the arm with a short arm swing and high-3/4 slot.  Average accuracy and carry.  Left handed hitter is athletic, using a weight shift back to load the swing.  Vertical bat head.  Good barrel awareness with average bat speed.  Short and direct to the ball, using the entire field with an exit velocity of 79.  Ran a 7.35 sixty with a better burst off the line.

Left handed hitter works with a level swing, staying in the middle of the field.  At 5-foot-9, 160 pounds works with a short, compact stroke that lifts off the shoulder and is direct to the ball.  Rushed through the load at times, the ball has better carry when the load completes.  Exit velocity touched 78.  Competitive at-bats in game, with an ability to fight off out-pitches.  Hands showed quickness to clear the inner half and barrel a fastball.  Hung tough against left-handed pitching.  Defensively plays through balls, catching them deep.  Clean exchanges work to a long arm stroke and high-3/4 slot showing average carry and accuracy.  79 mph from shortstop.
