Average frame at 5-foot-11, 179 pounds.  Average hands and fluid feet caught the ball consistently on the infield.  Works to play through the ball with the exchange getting to a ¾ release that can float lower at times.  Loose, showed some accuracy.  Throws peaked at 69 mph from the position.  Offensively, the right handed hitter is tall in the box, using a short stride.  Glide approach onto the front side, feeling for bat speed and the barrel at times.  Works to be level, and staying in the middle of the field.  Exit velocity touched 75 off the barrel.  Ran a 7.99 sixty. 
On the bump, the fastball ranged 68-70 from a ¾ slot.  Arm works through a little stiffness to the release, reaching and barring toward 2B out of the glove.  Works level and on-line, rushing through his balance at times.  Breaking ball has slow, gradual 11/5 arc from a slower arm speed at 51-52.  Shows good feel for the pitch, locating it consistently to the glove.  The change-up is around the zone, lacking some deception at 60-61.  Fade to the arm side is present.
