Physical with a strong lower half in a 6-foot, 200 pound frame.  Balanced from the right side.  Uses a weight shift to start the timing, with a leg kick.  Long aggressive stride as the bat head works to a vertical position for launch.  Quick bat through the zone with strong hands.  Level, gap-to-gap approach with rhythm.  Exit velocity peaked at 89 mph.  Slight side saddle at time in his setup.  Good hands.  Head and eyes track pitches.  Active blocker that “wants to”.  Feet work well with pitches in his frame, allowing for accuracy.  Balls outside the frame, there is a lack of sync in the feet and hands.  Can let the ball get deep at times.  Low exchanges at times as pop times ranged 2.09-2.22 with carry, staying true.  Positional velocity peaked at 79 mph. 
On the bump the fastball played hard at 80-84 after a long day behind the plate.  At times erratic, there were enough strikes.  Average leg kick, loads the back side.  Good tempo and direct lines.  Quick arm works from an over-the-top slot.  Breaking ball ranged 66-70 with 11/5 action.  Slows the arm to feel for the pitch.  Erratic command of the spinner.
