Defensively: The outfielder popped during defense, flashing above-average feel in space and a rounded, downhill approach over the toes. Bent at the waist, using a shifty, lower posture with efficient routes.

Generated some weight shift into a stiff front side while contacting the baseball at the front of the plate, let the ball get deep sometimes when the front foot got down late from the toe-tap, but shored up timing issues in game action.
