Physical: 5-foot-4, 170 pounds; Average, proportional build. 8.12 runner in the 60.
Offensively: RHH. Open setup, with feet shoulder width apart; bat positioned at a 45 degree angle. Drops hands on the way back with a slight leg-kick for timing. Drifts into contact while showing a limited effort from the legs. Showed a swing path that gets around the ball with a two handed finish. More flyballs than line drives and groundballs with a peak exit velocity of 80 MPH via Trackman.
Defensively: Starts with an upright /tall setup; uses prep step while being aggressive. Hands work through the ball with a clean transfer. Moderate arm circle from a standard 3/4 arm slot. OF - 71 MPH.
