A right-handed hitter with a spread base, higher-set hands, a high-back elbow, and direct hands working to it. He takes the hands to the baseball and works to it out in front. He has a pull-side approach with some feel to impact out in front and extend through it with a more compact stroke. He's quicker to contact and was able to match planes and get the barrel on it.

Great student.
