Left handed hitter, hits from a balanced stance with good hand and lower half rhythm into his swing, has hand speed and twitch, fires and clears his hips well, some present bat speed with more to come, showed some game power pulling the ball, projects very well as a hitter. Took a turn on the mound, works from the stretch with a high leg raise and tuck start, 3/4's arm slot. Fastball was mostly in the mid-70's and topped out at 79 mph with some arm side running life.
