Shortened up the arm action where throws still showed quality strength but accuracy can be improved. Offensively, more upright in the box with some natural rhythm to hands. Simple forward stride and hand/barrel load. Path works more down-and-through the baseball. Maintains balance and creates some leverage with his lower half. Several quality/barreled FBs when he caught it out front. Flashed above avg. bat speed for his level but displayed mostly avg. impact.
