Mainly working up the middle and showed the ability to jump on the inside pitch. A ton more to come in all aspects. 67.1 mph bat speed with 13 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 99 max exit velocity, averaged 94.6 mph. 349' max distance.
Arm: RH. INF-85 mph. Shows easy armstrength across multiple arm slots.
Defense: Loose and easy movements with present range to both sides. Confident use of his glovework.
