Shows ability to keep hands back and find a barrel even when fooled. Projectable all fields power, hammered a double to left center after peppering the RF wall in BP. Defensively, can present a target for his pitchers and hold it open, opens the glove with a high target before taking a big glove rest. Strong forearms, sticks the baseball as well as anyone in the 20 class. Easy receiver, projects as an above average to plus receiver. Consistently gets underneath the baseball, even with pitchers he isn’t familiar with. Was not tested to box the baseball.
