Nov 2020 Report

Evaluator: Trevor Hooth

Age: 20 yr
Height: 6-0
Weight: 156 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2017 IFA
RuleV: 2021

Physical Description: Small frame. Looks bigger than listed weight. Still plenty of room for projection as he adds weight.

Hit: Slightly open stance. Rests bat on his shoulder until load. Big leg kick. Once his leg kicks his hands quickly find the launch position. Hands fire when the foot comes down. Flat bat path. His body is in sync. Swings hard and wild. Not much barrel control making it difficult to make quality contact. Will swing often, but covers the plate well. Will dive out over the plate on offspeed pitches out of the zone.Can get pull happy and sell out for power, increasing swing and miss. Grade: 40

Power: Quick hands and above average bat speed provide power. On the flip side, his high effort swing is hard to control. His hard swing will show some fantastic raw BP power. As his frame fills out, there is more to come. Has a tendency to start swing before his foot is down. The ingredients for power are there, but filling out his frame and barrel control will be vital in accessing it. Grade: 40

Field: Sufficient with the glove. Has been used at 3B and SS in the past, could settle into either as a defensive home. Grade: 50

Arm: Strong arm. Has proven accurate in the lower levels as well. Should allow him to stay at either position on the left side of the infield. Grade: 50

Run: Has shown the ability to steal bases. Steals come more from instinct than raw speed. Likely not to become a massive steals threat, but he's also not slow. Grade: 50

Overall: There's work to be done with the bat. With his natural ability and room for projection, there's reason to believe the power is what has the most growth potential. His plate coverage might yield him an average hit tool, but he'll need to find the barrel. He swings very hard to sell out for power, which can cost him barrel control. Defensively he will be able to settle into anywhere on the infield, and there is projection in the bat to dream on.
