Receives from a side-saddled stance, gains ground towards his target and displays a quick mid-line transfer. Recorded developing arm strength up to 67 mph from behind the plate during drills and will continue to improve with minor refinements mechanically. Right-handed hitter that hits from a balanced, even base with a pre-set hand load and small hover trigger.
