6-foot, 158-pound lean frame with long levers. At the plate, Richardson started in a tall stance with upright posture and an open lower half. Initiates swing with a low hand load, that creates stretch against his leg lift. Low hand position creates a flat swing plane and a level finish. Mostly pull-side approach during BP. Stays tall in lower half with a 2-handed finish. Defensively, takes long and ranging strides in the OF. Consistent hands as he funnels ball in, receiving out front of his glove-side leg. Clean exchange into throwing motion. Footwork and actions should develop as frame matures. Consistent accuracy to the bag on throws from a long arm action and ¾ slot. On the mound, showed a high ¾ arm angle with a compact arm action. Tightens up arm path compared to when he is in the OF. Showed easy, sustainable effort in his delivery. Tall balance point with flat shoulders. Lands closed before holding his finish in a balanced position. Extends over front side with upper half at release. Commanded FB around the zone and stayed behind the ball consistently. CB/CH combination for his secondary pitches. CB has 11/5 shape when throw at its best with gradual break. Developing CH that fades best when located to his arm side.
