5-foot-10, 173-pound proportional frame. In the 60-yard dash, he clocked a time of 7.0. Begins in an open stance with a smooth load, then uses a controlled stride just before his swing.

Saffold showed his power ability with an exit velocity of 93 mph. Above average in the infield, displayed a velocity of 70 mph; shows rhythmic feet, a clean exchange and consistent hands. Consistent accuracy to the bases, used an-over-the-top slot with a loose arm action. Has some definte strength in his hands at the plate.
