Left handed hitter, hits from a balanced and slightly open stance with a small leg lift trigger, has some hand quickness and gets on plane well, stays behind the ball and works the middle of the field, showed good feel for the barrel and repeated his timing well, has a chance to be a nice hitter if he can get stronger. Took a turn on the mound, throws from a 3/4's arm slot with a well paced delivery that he repeats well. Fastball topped out at 70 mph with some arm side running life.
