Offensively: RHH.

Defensively: The primary third baseman featured long and rangy actions to the glove side and a low center of gravity on the approach creating solid angles on a multitude of routes. A soft glove hand led the way fielding out in front of the left foot with quality catch and throw skills out of a high ¾ slot with a moderate arm swing. INF - 79 mph

Pitching: RHP - Side rocker step with a rhythmic leg lift high above the waist with balance at the top, got straight line and downhill towards the plate with advanced feel for extension on the front side of a high ¾ release.
