Dec 2020 Report
Evaluator: Joe Drake
Age: 26 yr
Height: 6-4
Weight: 225 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2016 Draft - Round 4
RuleV: On 40-man
Physical Description: Big frame with broad shoulders and long, strong legs; Baby-faced but body looks near full maturity; Sneaky athleticism for a big kid; Actions are smoother than you might expect
Hit: Stance is tall with hands high, behind his ear; slight rock moves bat in a tight circle while the front foot taps; Average base with waist-high leg kick and noticeable coil; steps directly at pitcher. Good bat speed with loft in the swing. Pulverizes fastballs but struggles with anything that spins and will chase it off the plate; will K often. Patient hitter who will take a walk; Swings to do damage. Embodiment of a 3 true outcome hitter. Grade: 40
Power: Strong frame helps generate great bat speed. Slight uppercut swing and homerun approach allow him to showcase his prodigious raw power; Whiffs too often to maximize it. Will wait on something he can drive; Drives the ball with authority when he connects. Max exit velocities and average EV in the top 60-70 of MLB players. Grade: 60
Field: Moves well, athletic for his size; Quick enough to have a chance on liners; Flexible enough to have good range on the bag fielding throws at 1st. Knack for getting his glove on the ball. Can play 3rd, but there's probably a better defender in the org that pushes him to 1st. Reactions and athleticism might let him play LF in a pinch. Grade: 50
Arm: Solid arm; Quick actions; Firm and on a line across the diamond. Strong enough for 3rd, fires strikes. Can accurately deliver double play feed from first. Ball maintains carry when he can't set his feet. Grade: 55
Run: Sneaky quickness but you wouldn't call him fast. Won't clog the bases; Can swipe an occasional bag if the pitcher doesn't hold him. Grade: 45
Overall: 3 true outcome slugger corner infielder. Could play third base, but likely ends up at first base. Power is the carrying tool but his solid defense balances the profile. Likely a second-division regular given the contact issues. Could be a stud if he cleaned that up.
OFP: 50
