At the plate he continues to shine through an athletic, open setup. Hands are quick (81 mph exit velocity) and work through an aggressive swing path. He has strength in his swing and shows a feel for the barrel with gap-to-gap pop. Power will continue to increase as he utilizes his lower half more efficiently. On the mound, delivery is sound / repeatable as he shows good tempo through a strong balance point, allowing his arm action to work quick and free to the plate. Fastball shows a range of 79-84 mph with arm side run. Breaking ball displays 11/5 shape with late, downward break. He maintains arm speed on his changeup with sinking action.
