Right handed hitter, starts from a narrow straight stance with a simple load and stride into contact, trigger can be late at times, line drive swing plane, will improve as his timing improves. Also pitched, has a controlled and slow lag raise start with a hard hip turn and energy down the mound, slow to fast mechanics, high 3/4's arm slot.
