Borchering is an impressively built athlete. His size and obvious confidence gives him the look of a big-leaguer, and his tools and switch-hitting ability creates a package similar to that of Chipper Jones. Borchering isn't as good of a natural athlete, and may have to move to first base down the road given how big and mature his body already is. His bat may be good enough to play anywhere on the field, with great natural loft and power in his swing from both sides of the plate. He makes good adjustments from at-bat to at-bat, and has an advanced knowledge of the art of hitting at such a young age. He also has a strong arm, and pitches at the high school level, but is considered a positional prospect at the next level. He highlights a very impressive class that has committed to play for the Florida Gators, although if he continues to rise as he did during the summer of 2008 he likely will be drafted early enough to make his college career an afterthought.
