Offensively, Dykes is a very aggressive hitter who attacks the ball with a hard, rotational swing that creates very good bat speed. He basically overpowers the ball with his strength and quickness, there isn't the long and smooth levers that you see on some hitters. Dykes showed the ability to make adjustments to different pitches and hit the ball squarely on the barrell and hit it hard. He hits mostly line drives but showed a hit of some lift in his swing as well. Dykes is an aggressive offensive player at a premium defensive position and those type of talents play. He is also a good student.
