A left-handed bat that starts in a taller setup. Uses a double tap timing trigger with a rhythmic barrel prior to launch. Nice level path through the zone with some loft at times. Swing offers more present strength than speed through the zone. Generates natural ball flight when he stays through contact but has a tendency to pull off the baseball. In the infield he plays with quiet actions and direct feet. Receives the baseball deep in the middle of his body on plays inside funnel. Actions appear more athletic on the move. Not a flashy defender but reliable. Made outstanding play to forehand side in workout. 3B/2B type. Two-way prospect. On the bump the righty works with good tempo to a delivery that requires little effort. Arm works well through a high-¾ slot, displaying noticeable looseness to it. Presently sits 75-76 mph but expect that number to bump up a few ticks as physical maturation takes its course. Primary secondary offering is the 12/6 breaking ball. Looks comfortable and confident with the offering tossing it often. The pitch has nice downward dive at 65-68 mph.
