- He’s a willing and capable hitter in run support and closes fast to make plays against quick screens.
- Has the quick, agile feet and fluid hips to mirror quickness and change direction underneath. But he’s at his best facing the action.

- He’ll draw plenty of flags early on with his playing style. Aguero is hesitant when facing the action in zone coverage.
