| Hit | 40 | 50 | Compact stroke, has some bat speed. Small load, looks to punch it through the right side. Uses the whole field, but will work underneath the ball too much at times. |

Overall Summary
Athletic, plus runner who has some bat speed and is a disruptive force on the bases. Does not have much power projection, but stays short/compact and looks to shoot the ball gap-to-gap. Has some swing and miss, and hits the ball in the air too much for his skillset; his game is pressuring the defense with balls on the ground and using the plus run. Above-average defender at second base; athletic enough to move around the infield, but not a true infield-5. Aggressive base runner with impact speed; hard turns and looks to take the extra base. Base-stealing threat, good jumps, quick to full speed. Compares to Johnny Giovatella (2B, Angels) at the major league level.
