Body: 5-9, 182-pounds. Width to shoulders and back, shows some now strength with room to add more.
Hit: RHH. Toe tap stride, lands in good position to hit. Back foot shows movement away from home plate, back should rotate and drive towards pitcher maximizing use of lower 1/2 in swing resulting in increased ability to impact baseball.
