Primary third baseman, moved well laterally to both sides, worked through the ball with soft hands but had a tendency to let the ball come. Showed the ability to consistently make firm accurate throws, was clocked up to 75 mph on throws across the diamond. From the mound, threw strikes, attacked hitters early generating a lot of weak contact outs. The fastball sat 70-76 mph with good run and slight sink working best at the bottom of the zone.
