Primary outfielder on defense, best tool on the grass was his arm strength, made low on-line throws with good carry and accuracy, can move through the ball more aggressively for even more carry, two-hand fielder out front. Also worked out in the infield and showed his arm strength there as well, still developing his footwork and ability to make accurate throws. Took a turn on the mound, works from a full delivery with a big side step start, has some rhythm and athleticism to his delivery, arm was fast and loose from a mid 3/4's arm slot. Fastball topped out at 82 mph with big spin rates, big spin with 2500 rpm on his slider as well, more a thrower now with developing command but has significant arm talent to continue to develop.
