Dec 2020 Report
Evaluator: Joe Drake
Age: 22 yr
Height: 6-3
Weight: 220 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2016 Draft - Round 1, SD
RuleV: Eligible
Physical Description: Big, strong frame that still has a little room for weight. Wide shoulders and long limbs. Legs muscular but not big. Athletic build and moves fine, but definitely a corner profile.
Hit: Upright stance, sits into the knees a bit, hands shoulder level and tight, bat straight up. Legs a little wider than shoulder-width. Very quiet. Loads with minor leg kick to mid-thigh, up and down in the same spot, very little coil. Hands travel up and back. Swing is easy but chops down. Something unnatural about his sequencing, might be pushing, looks like a hitch mid-swing. Swing feels awkward despite the low effort, looks uncomfortable at launch position, back shoulder dips - maybe hands are just late. Average bat speed, looks like room for more if mechanics are optimized. Fringy swing and miss, not awful but more than you'd like; will chase a good breaker. Moderate patience. Grade: 40
Power: Easy pop. Ball jumps off the bat and carries with back spin. Really drives the ball despite average bat speed. Chance for big power here with improvement to the hit tool. Easy plus raw. Grade: 50
Field: Former MI, solid actions and decent hands. Gets himself in position to succeed. Lack of quickness limits range, but he can hold his own. Good instincts and feel. Grade: 45
Arm: Average carry; hits the target off-balance and on the move. Doesn't need to set his feet to be effective. Whips from almost a sidearm slot. Grade: 55
Run: Lumbers a bit. Solid actions, but lacks quickness. Almost like he's moving in slow motion - like his body just doesn't move like it used to. Grade: 40
Overall: Power corner profile with swing and miss issues. Outgrowing his athleticism, but still a chance to stick on the infield with average glove and AA arm because of his feel. There's big time power in the bat, but hit tool issues will limit what he gets to in games. Padres experimented with him at 2B where he could offer a big bat a la Moustakas, but more Ks. Glove, instincts and shifting might make him passable there. More likely a platoon corner bat.
