Dec 2020 Report
Evaluator: Joe Drake
Age: 21 yr
Height: 6-1
Weight: 191 lbs
Hits/Throws: L/L
Acquired: 2016 IFA, SD
RuleV: Eligible
Physical Description: Average frame with a lean upper body and long legs. High waist, noticeably thick butt, muscular thighs. Room to add weight up top. Natural athlete who makes things look easy.
Hit: Moderately crouched stance with wide base. Hands are high with bat bobbing up and down on shoulder. Torso starts slightly coiled. No stride, slight shift back before resetting front foot for launch position. Few moving parts before swing; simple and still. Very patient, confident feel of zone, makes pitcher come to him. Swing plane feels level. Can lift balls down, but more prone to LD and grounders. Will try and bunt for a hit. Grade: 55
Power: Not a powerful swing. Looking to make solid contact rather than hit homers. Lack of loft makes for more gap power than HR power. Has the legs to stretch extra bases. Enough raw to move up a half grade if the swing is optimized for loft. Grade: 40
Field: Tracks ball off the bat comfortably. Moves easily and takes good routes. Makes it look easy. Above average range. Solid glove, makes good plays but doesn't come up with the great ones. Has that feel of a good, reliable defender. Good instincts. Grade: 60
Arm: Good actions and feel for positioning. Gets himself in position to throw. Ball stays on a line. Passable in right. Grade: 55
Run: Aggressive on basepaths, tries to take the extra base if there's a chance -- can stretch a single into 2. Glides on the bases and in the outfield. Clocked a 4.13 H-1. Weapon on the basepaths. Grade: 55
Overall: Prototypical CF prospect. Plus defender with speed and a good arm and the contact and plate skills to lead off. Not much power to speak of due to approach and swing plane, perhaps an adjustment could add a handful of homers. High probability MLB guy with defensive replacement/pinch runner floor. Feels like Victor Robles Lite.
