Hit: Efficient mover in the box from the right side. Level path with a balanced offering of strength and speed to hands. Rotational sequence. Saw most natural flight to the middle of the field. Definitely has feel for contact. Solid round.
Power: Gap abilities.
Offensive Projection: Run producer ceiling.
Field: A t third base he showed athletic feet with fluid actions throughout. Sure-handed defender over there. Would receive a utility tag from his performance but graded out slightly higher behind the dish. One of the better block/receive guys we saw with more than serviceable catch/throw abilities.
Throw: Clean arm with more than respectable strength.
Defensive Projection:  C/3B.
