Right handed hitter, hits from a bent knee stance with a limited lower half shift to contact, very short and direct swing, contact approach that he executes well, pull to mid field contact, will hit for a high average if he can get stronger. Also pitched, over the top arm slot with a long stride out front, has some downhill angle and works low in the zone. Mid-70's fastball, topped out at 76 mph, mostly straight. Big slow curveball is thrown for strikes and is effective. Good student.
