He is developing his CB and once he gains a feel for the grip, he will compliment his FB. At the plate, he is an aggressive hitter. He looks for his pitch and likes to attack. Showed well in game action with 3 singles and an RBI. Scouts would like for him to work on a squared stride to maximize his plate coverage.
