A compact blocky catcher type build, with some present strength and offensive potential. The bat has some on plane tendencies at times, yet has some quick length thru the zone and needs to tighter up his strike with a more direct circular path. An over strider that does sit into his legs, and looks to utilize his lower ½. Needs to just pick the foot up, while eliminating inertia and fire his back hip thru contact instead of a tendency to rush his front side to the ball and spin. There is some strength as mentioned, just needs some mechanical tweaks. The exchange behind the dish is quick, but the feet rush and he needs to get sideways to the target and into a quality throwing position. The arm is quick and fast, yet recoils and doesn’t get out front and is back side through. Mostly a wristy thrower instead of reaching out front and pulling down the shade type finish is needed. Things to work on and take into practice to the betterment of his game play
