Upward swing path through hitting zone and creates solid extension to produce backspin when squaring offerings up. Shows ability to drive the ball to all fields with lift. Slightly above-average power potential. Developing plate patience. Struggles with breaking balls. Tends to get too far out on front foot.

Soft hands. Needs improvement with reads off of bat. Can be stiff and slow with reactions. Plus arm. Tools to become a solid-average defender at the hot corner. High baseball IQ.
