Nov 2020 Report
Evaluator: Jake Kerns
Age: 21 yr
Height: 6-4
Weight: 175 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2018 Draft - Round 2
RuleV: 2023
Physical Description: Tall and lean but beginning to fill out. Plenty of room to add strength. Strong hands. Athletic. High character.
Hit: Crouched stance. Keeps his right elbow back. Small leg kick; steps into the ball. Low at impact and generates significant leverage because of it. Uses his lower half well. Strong hands. Explosive bat speed. Beginning to use the whole field but still often pulls the ball. Shows an ability to lay off pitches. Future average eye. Grade: 55
Power: Plus or better raw power during BP. Has filled out and flashed average power during games in 2019. Ball explodes off the bat. Has shown an ability to go the opposite way albeit inconsistently. His projectable frame and ability to create leverage, in addition to his plus bat speed point to a likelihood of him closing the gap between his present in-game and raw power. Added strength will give him a chance to reach his ceiling of plus power. Grade: 55
Field: Moves well in center. Takes good routes. Solid jump. Plus speed helps him cover a lot of ground. Tools profile in CF but can slide to RF if necessary. Grade: 50
Arm: Flashes a plus arm with good carry from centerfield. Ball is thrown on a rope and mostly on target from CF. Profiles in RF if he needs to slide over sometime in the future. Grade: 60
Run: Present plus runner; times between 4.15 and 4.20 from the right side. Long strider and moves faster than it looks. Takes wide turns at first. Can get an extra base. Grade: 60
Overall: Flashes 3 plus tools and possesses the most upside in the system. Has a limited track record in professional ball - the lost year hurt - but the leap he made in 2019 has the arrow straight up. He possesses the upside to be an impact player that contributes in all facets of the game with further refinement.
