At the plate is where he shows best displaying outstanding hitting abilities with well above average power potential through a squared setup. Hands are quick and work through a level swing path.

He displays proper footwork around the bag and is a quality receiver. Hands are clean and present out front. At 3B, he shows smooth/fluid actions. Feet are active as he attacks ball and plays through with his body. Range will increase as he improves foot quickness.
