A small compact package physically and fits the mold of a baseball player. What he lacks in pure tools, he makes up for with a sum of all his parts. Offensively he is a natural RHH, that’s taken to switch hitting. From the RH side, he features an even props square stance and rocks back for timing with a medium knee kick into a solid load with the bat at a 45, getting good separation. He takes a short compact linear stroke and sprays LD’s to all fields on a line while finding the barrel. From the LH side it’s a mirror image and one that you find with new switch hitters with a feel for the art, that being he finds the barrel and drifts somewhat, but takes the same short path and drives the ball hard on a line the other way. Thus as he gets stronger with added reps from the new side, he should be able to pull the ball in time. Defensively he shows a methodical approach to the baseball and measures his steps, yet fields out front and the ball disappears in the glove. He takes an extra step and gathers, but fires accurate K’s across the diamond. The package suggests a switch hitting LD to all fields approach holding down 2B at the next level.
