Physical Description: Strong, well-built body. Has muscular development and strength throughout body. Wide shoulders. Athletic body. Future strength gains minimal, not much room to fill out.
Hit: Open stance. Hands high above head. Upright body with feet slightly wider than shoulder width apart. Active hand movement with slight hitch. Toe tap timing mechanism. Above-average bat speed on slight uppercut path with natural loft. Aggressive hitter. Ability to use the entire field. Will excessively use pull-side for spurts. Struggles with elevated velocity and susceptible to advanced spin. Lots of swing and miss. Will have poor at-bats time to time. Approach needs refined, but will draw walk occasionally. Possible fringe-average profile, but swing and miss make a below-average profile more likely. Grade: 40
Power: Double-plus raw power, game power plays more above-average. Can hit it out to all fields. Bat speed and natural loft allow him to drive ball with authority. Needs to let power play naturally, will overswing at times. Improving amount of contact will help him tap into power even more. Grade: 55
Field: Sound defender with athletic actions. Good reads with quick first step. Able to make routine play. Catches what he gets to. Shows some burst despite below-average speed. Covers enough ground in all directions. Shows ability to range backwards well. Playable at a corner. Grade: 50
Arm: Sound throwing mechanics with short arm swing. Good carry through bag with above-average accuracy. Quick, smooth transfer. Uses entire body well during throws. Can throw out runners. Arm fits RF profile well. Grade: 55
Run: Below-average speed. Gets out of the box decent, lacks second gear acceleration. Not a threat to steal a base. Good instincts. Speed is playable in corner outfield. Some burst, can cover decent ground in all directions. Grade: 40
Overall: Conine is an interesting bat that flashes some above-average tools. The outfielder profiles best for RF due to the above-average power and arm. Offensively, power is his carrying tool. He has shown the ability to drive the ball out to all parts of the field thanks to strength and loft in swing. There are majors concerns for his bat to ball skills. He struggled with velocity and spin, resulting in a lot of strikeouts. The contact issues limit his hit tool potential, but he will always be a power first bat. He can play a sound defense in right. Despite below-average speed, Conine can cover enough ground and catch the ball. He will make the routine play and can provide value with his arm. It has solid carry and is accurate allowing him to throw out runners. Overall, Conine has the potential to fit a prototypical RF profile but the hit tool is what will make or break him. He will need to trim the whiffs and show he can hit advanced pitching if he wants to have any success. He's likely a below-average, bench role player.
