Sound defender behind the dish registered solid pop times of 2.06-2.18 and and above average 78 mph arm strength with good carry to the bag. Additional work to shorten the arm swing will lower pop times quickly.

Solidly built 5-foot-10, 185-pound right-handed hitter starts from a slightly open stance with a high hands load. Utilizes a leg lift stride with some drift to the baseball that inhibits his ability to turn on the inner half of the strike zone at times.
