6-foot-4, 175 pound tall, thin projectable body frame. From first base he shows good athletic footwork and the ability to move well laterally off the base using 79 mph arm strength to throw across the field. Offensively, he begins from a balanced set up, fluid hands back to shoulder trigger, swing has a tendency to get a little choppy at times, and uses a one handed finish. He reached a top exit velocity of 78 mph and ran a 4.79 down the line to first. On the mound the lefty uses a repeatable delivery with not much effort required, he throws using average armspeed through a ¾ slot. His fastball was between 81-84 mph. Curveball was thrown at a 1/7 plane and showed signs of being sharp with depth at 65-68 mph. He threw a changeup at below fastball armspeed 65-66 mph. He also flashed a knuckle ball with some tumble at 62-63 mph.
