Athletic body type and 5’10’’, 155 pound frame with room to grow and fill out. Hits from a balanced, exaggerated open stance at the plate. Smooth load creating some hand separation and showed nice balance throughout the swing. Generates some lower half involvement and quick bat speed through the zone. Stays behind the ball well with a level swing path and gets good extension past contact. Gap-to-gap type hitter with some power present. Recorded an 83 mph exit velocity.
