Hands are quick and work through an aggressive swing path, creating late bat whip. He stays inside the ball, utilizing all fields through a line drive approach.

He needs to work to get behind balls more to play through with momentum to his target. He utilizes his foot quickness (8.05 60 time) in covering a lot of ground. Throws are accurate but he will benefit by building more arm strength through a long toss program. At the plate, he shows a squared, athletic setup.
