Similar easy release on throws from the outfield with some smoothness to footwork, higher lead arm into release, works to the intended base well; two hands out front fielding in the infield with some bend at the waist, steady tempo, works on top of throws. Also pitched, fluid delivery and works under control with longer arm action and some looseness; fastball topped to at 77 mph, mostly true in life with occasional sink when on time with release. Mixed a short curveball with some 11-5 shape up to 70 mph and can continue to throw with conviction; flashed a straight changeup at 71 mph with a similar release point. Right-handed hitter, begins with a slightly open stance and a high hand set and back elbow at the plate. Long and linear stroke through the zone, continued to find barrels throughout round with extension out front.
