Offensively: RHH - Balanced, even stance from a wide attack as the hands showed flat above the shoulder with circular rhythm. Utilized a short lift and replace stride to initiate a slightly uphill path into the hitting zone, working towards a higher finish. Recorded a 46% line drive rate (via Trackman) with ability to hit behind the ball, controlling the barrel with tight, deep turns over the backside hip. Good rotational athlete that could start and stop quickly, producing good connection in both lower/upper halves. Recorded a T93 mph bat-exit velocity up to around a 330 foot distance with an even split of fly balls and line drives (pull-side feel). 

Defensively: The primary backstop featured a wide, traditional base in the crouch with feel for the pocket when receiving. Pop times ranged from 1.94-2.03 with replaceable feet showing up-tempo actions. Worked right left, and released from a moderate H ¾ slot (73 mph arm). Could slide a longer frame around blocks with downward trajectory to deaden the ball.

Was able to lift the baseball after impact on occasion, working towards a high finish on the backside, posting a 50% line drive rate (via Trackman) during his BP round. Stayed over the rear hip and turned with minimal extra pieces to the swing, allowing for good consistency (50% hard hit rate) and doubles power to the pull-side gap (322 foot batted ball distance). Mature hitter that carried momentum into game action where he proceeded to add to the barrel column with multiple good at-bats. 

Defensively: The primary backstop featured a calm, left knee down receive as the glove hand operated smoothly at the catch. Pop times ranged from 1.98-2.05 using great flexibility and lower half strength to stay under the pitch and drive laterally at a low posture out towards the target, getting the back foot in the ground.
