Mixed a curveball up to 71 mph and landed it for strikes consistently with shape each time; threw all three pitches for strikes. Accurate throws across the diamond from both the infield and first base; fields cleanly in the dirt, hands play out front and repeats. Moves around the first base bag well with footwork, strong throws. Right-handed hitter, begins wtih an even base and a high hand set and back elbow at the plate; utilizes a leg lift trigger for timing in the box.

Excellent student.
