Donnelly showed well for all aspects of the game over the weekend. Strong, athletic body with proportional strength. Offensively was 2-for-4 with an RBI during Saturday's game with a short quick swing. Keeps hands inside which makes the barrel find the ball throughout every at bat. Defensively, fluid motions, quick first step with a strong arm.
