Average build with some strength in the 5-foot-8, 150 pound right handed hitter.  Works from an open stance, loading the bat head to a vertical position as the hands load down slightly for rhythm.  Uses a leg kick to get the weight shifted back and works with a short stride.  Better than average bat speed with a level swing.  Peppered the pull side gap with fluid rounds of BP, working for extension.  Exit velocity peaked at 85, but as the barrel is on the ball more consistently this number may rise.  Defensively there is some effort from the left side of the field.  Hands work and appeared more calm on the right side.  Feet work to load the arm after the catch.  Short arm swing gets to a high-3/4 slot showing a feel for accuracy with average carry at 79 mph across the infield.  Elbow works above the shoulder line in the arm swing, allowing time for the head to leave the front side early.  Occasional fade on the ball.
