Gagen is 6-1 with an athletic frame that has some strength in the lower half and some projection left to it. He hits from the right side from an open balanced stance, two step stride on line, smooth load back, some rhythm in his set-up. Hips rotate completely with some violence and he maintains some lower half balance. Hands stay inside, short to the ball, uphill line drive swing with a strong contact point, showed a pull approach, some power present to his pull side with some natural loft in his swing, exit velocity was 84. Behind the plate, clean exchange, throws from a high three-quarters arm slot, short arm action, position velocity was 69 and pop times 2.10-2.25. Showed some accuracy on his throws.
