6-foot-2, 175-pound lean long frame. Projectable at the plate, Butler recorded an exit velocity of 89 mph. (61.61 mph bat speed average). (21.86 mph hand speed average).

Capable while in the infield, made throws at velocities up to 76 mph; had choppy developing footwork, a natural lengthy exchange, and raw hands. Fields the ball deep, movements laterally were developing. Consistent accuracy to the bases, used a longer arm action and a ¾ slot.
