Butler is 6-0 with an athletic frame that has some strength present and plenty of projection left to it. He hits from the right side from an open balanced athletic stance, strides on line, short smooth load down and back. Hips rotate completely with some violence and he maintains good lower half balance. Hands stay inside, short to the ball, slightly uphill line drive swing path, strength at contact with extension through the ball, showed a good approach working primarily gap to gap, exit velocity was 78. In the outfield, gets body behind the ball and fields through it with above average hands, quick clean exchange, throws from a three-quarters arm slot, short arm action, position velocity was 70. Ran a 7.47 60 yard dash.
