Fields each GB in rhythm working into posture early while steal moving to and through the baseball with soft/sure hands. Clean funnel and exchange and got off accurate throws across with his shorter arm action. At the plate, sits in an even base with tighter set hands. Small hover leg lift trigger. Hands dominant swing where the barrel works short/quick to the baseball but cuts out of the zone quickly. Minimal barrel feel and adjustability.
