Petty has filled out his 6-foot, 185-pound frame with strength since we saw him last. The right-handed hitter made hard contact during BP (84 mph exit velocity) with an inside out path and rotational hack. Triggers his hands back and down as he cocks the barrel forward and uses a controlled leg kick for timing, landing with separation. Behind the plate, he has a clean exchange into a short arm stroke from an over the top slot. Threw 69 mph from the crouch with pop times ranging from 2.36-2.44.
Petty has a strong, projectable frame at 5-foot-11, 170-pounds. The right-handed hitter starts from a balanced stance with rhythm in his hands.

Behind the plate, Petty has a quick exchange before throwing from a short arm stroke at 66 mph from the crouch with pop times of 2.29-2.47.
