Strengths

Elite Rotational Mechanics: Explosive hip rotation paired with efficient kinetic sequencing lets him transfer energy from the ground up, producing a high ceiling for power.

Head & Posture Stability: The head stays remarkably still and posture holds consistent through the swing, driving repeatable contact and sharp pitch recognition.

Areas For Improvement

Maximizing Separation: Create a more dynamic stretch between the hips and torso during the load to unlock additional rotational power and bat speed.

Continued Strength Development: Build core and lower-body strength to control his long levers (6’3”) and stay efficient against higher velocity.

Strengths

Projectable Frame & Stride Length: A tall, long-levered 6’3” frame combined with an excellent stride and extension lets him release the ball closer to the plate, creating a difficult angle for hitters.

High Physical Ceiling: The same length and leverage that aid extension give him significant room to add velocity as strength and sequencing develop.

Areas For Improvement

Hip-Shoulder Separation: Hips and shoulders rotate close to simultaneously, limiting the torque available for velocity. The focus is on letting the hips initiate while the shoulders stay closed.

Front-Side Instability: The glove arm and head drift toward the target (a ‘head whack’) rather than staying firm, leaking energy and pulling him off line. A stable front side keeps rotation efficient.

Ineffective Front Leg Bracing: The lead leg doesn’t brace firmly at landing, so energy that should transfer up into the trunk and arm is absorbed by a soft front knee. A firm brace is crucial for velocity gains.
