Smooth back in his load with a short stride. Strength in his swing with feel for the barrel. Barrel works short to the ball and stays in the zone. Simple swing with balance throughout. Flat barrel works for extension, finishing with high hands.  Ability to drive the baseball with backspin. Looks to stay gap to gap with a line drive approach and ball off the bat peaking at 88 mph. Shows average hands on the infield with fluid feet, playing through the ball. Good rhythm between the feet and hands. Active feet, works to get around balls, playing through the catch and following throws.  Funnels to the center of his body after catch, using a medium arm swing, throwing from a high ¾ slot. Has the ability to be accurate from multiple slots. Accurate arm topping at 77 mph across the diamond. Plenty of carry to stay on the left side.
On the mound he uses a simple delivery.  Average leg kick with the backside pre-loaded to handle his weight.   Works on-line, landing square and finishing athletic. Long arm action gets to an over-the-top slot.  Fastball ran up to 86, settling 80-83 with occasional arm side life. Attacked the zone with fastball, flashing a feel for pitch-ability.  Used the fastball to both sides of the plate. Breaking ball has gradual tilt at 68-69. The shape can be inconsistent based on count, tending to throw more 12/6 when ahead and more 11/5 when working to get a pitch over.  Breaking ball is a solid pitch that could develop into a swing and miss type pitch with increased arm speed.
