A right-handed hitter that starts in a tall, open setup. Load is athletic and creates balanced. Path is level and swing balances intent and control well. Loose, whippy swing with easy pop to both gaps. Impressive natural tools for class. Definite bat to follow that shows signs of hitting for both power and average. Defensively does a nice job playing low through the field process. Takes direct angles while attacking the baseball creating his hop. Throws through a high-3/4 slot reaching a top velocity of 73 mph.

A right-handed hitter that starts in a balanced setup. Moves his hands back to launch during his short stride. Path is level and gets through contact with authority. Natural tools are well-above average for his age. Ball jumped off his bat. Was at his best when he worked to the middle of the field. In the infield he does a nice job playing low and under control. Tends to field from heels at times. Transfer is smooth and timely. Arm action is shorter and clean. Ball skills are developing.
