Physical Description: Planez is listed at "only" 6'2" 180 but he definitely appears closer to 6'4" 210 and maybe even a little bigger. He is a man. Thick, especially in in the lower half. Broad shoulders, strong and athletic.
Hit: Legs create a base just past shoulder width. Pigeon toed from foot during setup. Hands up at the shoulder with the back elbow up. Big leg kick. Displays good hand eye coordination but still has some trouble with breaking balls. Wwing is not exactly mechanically sound at this point but he still goes through his sequence smooth and easy. Swing and miss will likely always be a part of his game with how big he is but the future hit should be at least serviceable. Grade: 40
Power: Plus plus raw power. Swings with natural loft. 10 career homers in less than 300 at bats is quite impressive for someone who was just 16 and 17 years old at the time. Missed almost all of last season with a broken hamate bone. All signs point to the power being a legit part of his game going forward. Grade: 55
Field: Covers decent ground with his speed, gets to balls that other players his size would not. Has played both CF and RF with RF being his likely final destination. Projected an average future tool. Grade: 50
Arm: Arm to play RF. Strong and accurate. Grade: 60
Run: Runs well for his size. Speed to close on balls in RF but not likely to burn up the base path. Current average run will likely tick down to fringe average by the time he make majors. Grade: 45
Overall: Planez is an amazing lottery ticket. A more and more popular pick to sky rocket to the top 100 next year with a good start this coming season. The power and glove will play. If the hit tool develops to even fringe average we have a potential star on our hands. But that is a big "if," more likely projection as a Major League platoon/bench bat with the possibility to flame out prior to making the bigs. Will be a fun player to monitor during 2021.
