Aggressive hitter; who present a plus raw power to all fields, excellent gap hitter. Athletic around the bag, plus agility and first-step quickness, reads hops and gets low; presents a firm target, length and hands to corral bad balls thrown.

"Ito Rivera had a terrific series, making hard contact and displaying instincts all over the diamond. His combination of experience, physical projection, and unique position split between first base and outfield creates significant volatility in his profile." -- Ron Tuggnut – Director of Softball Analytics
