5-foot-10, 165-pound mature frame. Sets up in a slightly open stance with upright posture and narrow base. Gets into a more athletic position after a quick load and small leg kick with knee-knock action. Quick, repeatable bat path. Simple, short swing plane and consistent extension on his finish. Found multiple barrels with loud contact. Gap to gap approach. Behind the plate, had consistent pop times of 2.18-2.25. One knee down type receiver behind the dish, showing some mobility and a soft glove hand. Clean actions getting out of crouch and into throwing motion. Creates consistent ball flight with a high ¾ release. Also worked out on in INF. Moves with fluid footwork, sure consistent hands and a clean exchange. Maintains body control throughout while adjusting tempo as needed. Continued to use short, bent arm action with a high ¾ release.
