Positional Profile: OF Above average strength. Will follow development.

Hit: RHH. Open in stance and slight bend in knees, weight is 50/50 in setup. Hands held in tight to body with bat laying flat on shoulder, back elbow slightly raised. Weight starts even, loads onto back side, stride is direct and gets him back square to pitcher. Has some bat speed, consistent hard contact.
