Nov 2020 Report

Evaluator: Jake Kerns

Age: 22 yr
Height: 6-1
Weight: 165 lbs
Hits/Throws: B/R
Acquired: 2015 IFA
RuleV: Eligible

Physical Description: Well-built. Heavier than listed weight. Strong upper body.

Hit: Switch-hitter. Crouched and wide-based, mirror-image swing. Slight leg kick. Explosive hands. Impressive bat speed. Takes big cuts. Swing can be long at times. Aggressive. Significant swing and miss issues demonstrable by his 2018 and 2019 K-rates. Below-average approach and eye. All or nothing hitter. Grade: 30

Power: Ball explodes off the bat from the left and right side. Hits them high and far when he barrels the ball. Plus or better raw power from both sides. Approach will not allow him to get to it consistently. Big gap between raw and in-game power. Farthest HR in 2019 measured at 434 feet. Grade: 60

Field: Capable in CF, but fits best in right with his strong arm and average speed. Booted a ball in 2019 and has some work to do, but looks to be an average fielder with more reps. Grade: 50

Arm: Strong arm that profiles in RF. Grade: 60

Run: Average speed down the line. Covers enough ground in the outfield to fit in right. Grade: 50

Overall: Possesses significant power from both sides of the plate. Very much the kind of tool that can carry him but will need substantial improvement with the hit tool to consistently get to the power. A long-shot to make the majors based on the lack of hit tool.
