Apr 2021 Report

Age: 24 yr
Height: 6-0
Weight: 180 lbs
Hits/Throws: S/R
Acquired: 2012 IFA (BOS)
RuleV: Eligible
Physical Description: Athletic frame, fits listed numbers. Fairly standard, unassuming build; strong lower half. Live body. Hamstring strain in 2020; Wrist Sprain 2021.
Hit: Right: Slightly open stance with high hands at the head, upright body, and shoulder-width base. Quiet hands; loads with moderate leg lift that hovers a touch. Average bat speed and linear bat path. Left: Slightly open stance with hands at the letters, upright body, and feet slightly wider than shoulder-width. Sharper leg lift than from the right side; flat bat path but slightly steeper than from the right. Aggressive swinger on strikes, but good feel for the zone and will work a walk. Doesn't expand much but will swing through pitches in the zone. Whiffs on pitches he should hit and even some he should drive. Swings hard, looks to shoot line drives which fits his power profile. Good command of the strike zone will boost OBP, but lacks contact skills of a good hitter. Grade: 40
Power: Average raw pop and average bat speed. Linear swing path limits over the fence potential, but speed and baserunning will help him rack up extra base hits. Poor contact skills will likely keep him from realizing any real power potential. Not a good swing path adjustment candidate due to swing and miss issues. Grade: 40
Field: Solid outfielder but doesn't quite have the chops/instincts for center. Strong arm makes him a natural fit for right field, but the bat is weak for a corner. Reads and routes are average but has good closing speed. Solid defensive package overall, but a tweener profile due to the weak offensive package. Grade: 50
Arm: Strong arm, easy carry out of the hand, generally on target. Plenty of strength and accuracy for right field. Good speed helps him get in position to make good throws more often than not. Grade: 60
Run: Clocked 3.96 H-1st from left side. Good runner with above-average top end speed and good instincts on the basepaths. Out of the box quickly and accelerates well. Can score from 1st on balls in the gap. True stolen base threat; good reads and jumps and gets up to speed quickly. Lack of top end speed keeps him from a double-plus grade, but feel and quickness help it play up and make him dangerous on the bases. Grade: 60
Overall: Athletic, toolsy player who doesn't quite have the skills to succeed at the major league level. Good instincts on the basepaths don't carry over to the outfield and whiff issues at the plate limit his offensive impact. Best suited as a pinch runner and corner outfield defensive replacement.
