On the mound, she extends through well on her release and keeps an open hip direction. She is controlled in her finish and has good balance throughout her pitching motion. She has a free arm circle and is smooth in her mechanics. At first base, she stays low in her fielding position and has soft hands when receiving the ball. She makes accurate throws to her target and makes routine plays. Offensively, she has a good hand path to the ball and keeps her head on the ball at all times.
