Patrick is a ground ball machine who can run the field in transition and play either LSM or close. He has a great stick, and is skilled at knocking down passes and clogging passing lanes. He does a good job of using his body to keep his man away from the middle of the field, but he does need to avoid relying on recovery checks. He has the athleticism and strength to keep his man away from the net, he doesn't need to sacrifice positioning just to go for a takeaway.
