Showed quality quickness to his feet where he gained good ground/direction toward 2nd. Arm strength was there but one-hopped several to 2nd. At the plate, sets up in a medium base where he uses simple/easy moves into launch. Hands show noticeable twitch/quickness in throwing the barrel on compact and slight uphill path. Tight turns with control/balance. Produced plenty of LDs into and through the gaps during his round showing good barrel feel. Translated into gameplay with a couple opposite field barrels. On the mound, shows an athletic operation. Works with force/intent down the mound. Slower build into leg lift but builds up speed/pace during drift and into quick rotation.

CB was more 11-5 in the upper 60s and mixed in a harder slurvy SL in the mid 70s where he showed feel to land both. Also flashed a CH he creates good depth and kills spin on.
