Nov 2020 Report
Evaluator: Russ Peters
Age: 21 yr
Height: 6-3
Weight: 230 lbs
Hits/Throws: L/R
Acquired: 2019 IFA
RuleV: 2023
Physical Description: Imposing size, tall with a large frame, broad shoulders, thick, strong upper and lower body.
Hit: Slightly open stance from the left side, hands back, close to the body and just above letters, wide base, swing not overly long but has some swing and miss which shows his inexperience with pro velocity and spin, average bat speed, handsy swing, not overly complicated, does not sell out for power, patient approach, showed plate discipline in brief stint with Villa Clara of the Cuban National Series as an 18 year old, yet to really be tested by pitchers, large gap in current and potential hit tool, hit tool will likely decide how quickly and whether or not he becomes a big leaguer. Grade: 45
Power: Impressive, plus raw power, enough for the Reds to spring for a $1.3 million signing bonus, line drive approach, linear swing, needs to add some loft to reach power potential. Grade: 55
Field: listed at 1B on Reds Fall Instructional League roster, moves well for a big guy with decent footwork, soft hands, still working on ability to pick tough throws, can work himself into an average defender with consistent work at 1B, could possibly end up in LF but likely more suited for 1B. Grade: 50
Arm: Enough arm to play at either corner infield or corner outfield slot but nothing flashy, solid average. Grade: 50
Run: well below average runner, may slow down further depending on physical development. Grade: 30
Overall: Size, strength and plate discipline to be an OPS asset as well as an average defender at first, lack of defensive versatility puts more pressure on the bat, needs to work on making better contact versus more advanced pitching and velo, needs to develop hit tool to reach full potential, may be a hit or power profile rather than a hit and power profile, excited to see what he can do in his stateside debut.
