A left-handed hitter who has an even base with tight hands an a high back elbow. He uses a toe-tap trigger. Showed off a compact and line-drive-producing stroke. Made some pretty consistent contact. Pretty straight stance overall and was able to work the opposite field during his round of BP. Took to the mound as a left-handed pitcher who uses a small rocker step to get started. Lifts the leg with the knee getting up around the belt. He was in control of his body with a good tempo to his actions. He throws strikes and was able to fill the zone.
