Tall, lean, athletic frame. Has room to fill out and get stronger. Starts swing approach with a semi wide stance, weight on back bent leg with slight tilt, and leans backwards. Backfoot slightly turned in. Pre-load and hands in a locked position, small toe tap to balance his rhythm out as he goes to impact ball on barrel. Strong hands through the ball that showed some line drive pop. Good bat speed and finish to his swings. Agile body and smooth defensive actions. Glove to release is smooth and transfers the ball well when throwing. Throws have good carry to target and his overall arm and feet gives him the chance to stay on the left side of the diamond. Had easy fluid actions to ball and a natural look to be an infielder. Bordon displayed a mature approach to all areas of his game and instincts to play the game. Ran a 6.9 60-yard dash that will improve over time as he matures and gets stronger.
