Mar 2021 Report
Evaluator: Jake Kerns
Age: 24 yr
Height: 6-3
Weight: 264 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2015 Round 13
RuleV: Eligible
Physical Description: Above-average height with significant bulk; a hulking human. High waisted and a thick lower half and core. Strong hands and upper body.
Hit: Stands crouched with the bat head on his shoulder until the pitcher's windup; gets the barrel high and back with significant bat movement prior to swinging. Uses a small leg kick as his timing mechanism. Keeps his weight on his back foot and uses his upper body strength to deliver crushing blows to the baseball. Takes big, hulking cuts at the ball. Swing can get long. Has above-average or better bat speed that generates high exit velocities and drives the ball when he makes good contact. Aggressive, free swinging approach that leads to a lot of strikeouts and few walks. Shows average pitch recognition and below-average barrel control. Punishes fastball mistakes. Grade: 40
Power: Shows massive raw power to the pull side during BP with explosive bat speed. Got to his raw power during games in 2019, hitting a HR in every 19 at-bats. Powerful, natural strength-fueled swing that is designed to get the ball in the air to the pull side. Lacks hip rotation, but has the shear strength to drive the ball. Aggressive approach will hinder his power output as he moves up the ladder. Grade: 55
Field: Shows a solid glove at 1B with below-average footwork. Has limited range at the position. Heavy footed. Shows good awareness in the field and makes the routine play. Grade: 45
Arm: Long, overhand thrower who will sometimes drop his shoulder to get the ball out quicker. Shows below-average arm strength; ball lacks carry because of the trajectory he throws at. Grade: 40
Run: Recorded below-average times in the 60 as an amateur; has slowed some during his minor league career as he's continued to add bulk. Timed at 4.46 down the line from the right side during the 2019 season. Grade: 30
Overall: Terry shows massive raw power, but the rest of his tools play below average. He's a bat-first prospect who likely does not have the bat-to-ball skills to consistently unleash his power against upper-level pitching.
