| Hit | 40 | 50 | Swing has some length but player manipulates barrel for hard contact. Gets out front of spin when keeping weight back; some vulnerability on outer half due to bat path. Pullside approach; doesn't expand on FBs. Shows flashes of average hitter at present when keeping weight back; should improve consistency. |
