He has good arm strength with carry and makes consistent throws to his target. He fields the ball deep at times and takes an extra step to throw and needs to sure these areas up to continue to improve his game. At the plate he shows good bat speed with life in his barrel and opposite field power. He is on time in getting his front foot down and takes a short and direct path to the ball.
