Lean, projectable frame with length throughout build at 6-foot-2, 160 pounds. Sets up in the box with feet outside of shoulder width and lower half square to the pitcher. Hands start high then pull down & back as they load with his leg kick into stride. Creates noticeable separation/torque through his core to help generate bat speed. Barrel works thru the zone on a rotational path with a level finish after contact. Abbreviated, 2 handed finish. Up the middle type approach throughout BP. Defensively, very active footwork on the dirt with short, quick steps. Keeps body control while moving laterally. Attacks the ball with confidence, getting glove hand down as he takes his momentum thru the ball and directly into throwing motion. Easy exchange. Clean, whippy arm action with high ¾ release. On the mound, mixes his tempo up with slight hesitation in delivery. High leg lift with big hip turn towards his back shoulder. Flexible lower half with easy range of motion. Drop and drive action at hand break. Slight shoulder tilt as he works down the mound into his landing. Arm action stays bent after he separates with slight stab on his backside before working up to a high, over the top release. Tall, upright finish out over his front side.
