At the plate, hitting abilities have improved through a squared setup. Hands are quick (83 mph exit velocity) and work through level swing path. He makes consistent hard contact and stays inside the ball, flashing gap to gap pop. Behind the plate, feet are active as he works in line through a clean transfer / exchange. Pop times have improved as he threw his lowest time to date at 2.09 with accuracy / carry (86 mph velocity) on his throws. He shows a squared setup and presents a soft mitt out front and utilizes his body through the blocking process, centering balls well out front. Receiving / blocking skills show as quality tools that will play well.
