Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2020 Draft - Round 1

Hit: Many scouts adored the hit tool coming out of high school, which was one of the better hit tools amongst prepsters in the 2020 class. Has a slight leg kick as a trigger, hands start around the ears and he produces solid bat speed. Swing is compact and he has a very solid approach at the plate. Uses all fields. Currently above-average, but has a good chance to be a plus tool as he develops. Grade: 55

Power: Still developing his power, with most of it being to the pull side. More power was evident in the short stint that was his senior season, and as he adds more strength to his upper body, the power will come. Likely to be an average tool moving forward. Grade: 50

Field: Due to shoulder surgery and subsequent healing, likely will be limited to second base in the future. Speed hurts his range on the left side of the diamond as well. Has solid instincts in the infield and good footwork, but likely will be a bat-first player. Grade: 50

Arm: Arm strength was solid prior to injury, but subpar healing has caused some issues with regaining that strength. Could see more of that strength return, but the arm will be fringe-average at best currently. Grade: 45

Run: Fastest 60 in high school was a 7.00, which is average. Likely to lose some speed as he progresses. Grade: 50

Overall: Will become an offensive-minded second baseman in the future. His hit tool will be his loudest asset, if he works on his opposite field pop, his power could see a better grade next to it. Arm and defensive placement will be key components to watch as he progresses through Boston's system.
