Can get a little more off the back side to be more 50/50 weight shift in launch position. Quick hands and good barrel release. Bat has some whip to it. Works inside the baseball for the most part. Back elbow gets stuck on mid section at times and causing hands to come across. 66.7 mph bat speed with 6 G's of rotational acceleration.

Defense: Good actions in feet and glove. Soft handed. Angles get flat at times creating tougher hops and direction to throw. Solid fielder.
