Behind the plate he starts in a wider setup. Actions are clean as he gets out of his crouch and into his transfer. Does a nice job of creating direction with his feet. Exchange skills are developing. Pretty mechanically sound and should see easy increases in pop times as he matures physically. At the plate he gets things started with a leg kick. Does a nice job of gathering his weight prior to transferring it into contact. Lower half is aggressive and creates solid energy. Upper half stays relatively quiet prior to launch. Path is level with developing bat speed. Swings with intent and has much more pop than frame would suggest.
