1.21.19 Showed quality feel for the shortstop position, playing light on his feet with a quick first step and rhythm through the catch. Can make the one handed play with a quick exchange in the midline, can start the double play, and uses directional shuffles as he throws across the diamond. The right-handed hitter uses a reverse leg lift to load as he triggers his hands down and back, then slots the barrel in the zone with tilted shoulders. Strong hands work on an upward plane, creating lift to the pull side, including a home run foul in BP.
