Dec 2020 Report
Evaluator: James Chipman
Age: 22 yr
Height: 5-11
Weight: 175 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2019 Draft - Round 4
RuleV: 2022
Physical Description: Medium frame. Sturdy compact athletic build. Above-average athleticism; average strength for position. Baseball rat. Impressive leadership and work ethic. Physically mature.
Hit: Open stance that squares on load; hands high at the ear; busy active hands pre-load; upright stance with a slight crouch and wide base. Leg kick timing mechanism opens body up to clear hips on load; chokes up and shortens to a small stride or toe tap when behind in the count. Circular path to and through the ball with a two handed finish; average bat speed. Patient but often over-passive approach. Shows the ability to grind out at-bats, take his fare share of free passes and is tough to strikeout. Struggles against above-average or better velocity and secondaries. Ingredients and potential of a fringe-average hit tool, but approach and deficiencies make a below-average outcome more likely. Grade: 40
Power: Flashes fringe-average raw in BP, rare over-the-fence pop is predominately to the pull side. Contact oriented, all fields line drive approach. Has enough raw to turn on the occasional mistake, but extra-base power is limited to when the ball finds a gap or is hit into a corner. Grade: 30
Field: Above-average defender. Smooth fluid actions. Moderate range that plays up due to good instincts. Efficiently sound footwork; quick first step; strong pivot skills; average hands; smooth quick transfers. Makes good reads; anticipates hops well; moves well to both sides and handles difficult plays okay. Capable defender anywhere on the infield dirt. Not flashy, but an adequate defender with consistent execution. Grade: 55
Arm: Gets the job done. Clean arm actions and solid mechanics yield above-average arm-strength that's passable at short. Decent accuracy with crisp velocity and optimal carry. Has enough arm to throw over-the-top across the diamond with steam from deep in the hole. Grade: 55
Run: Above-average runner; consistent 4.23 - 4.26 clocks down the line. Gets up to speed quickly and runs the bases well with solid instincts. Grade: 55
Overall: Potential glove first, big league utility type if the bat exceeds modest expectations and the stars align. More realistically a solid emergency depth piece that provides value to Baltimore's high minors affiliates.
OFP: 35
