Mar 2021 Report

RuleV: On 40-Man Roster
Physical Description: Diminutive size at sub-six feet, and a thin slight build. He has some natural strength and has a compact muscular core, lacks much bulk to project power beyond current output.
Hit: Sets up square, hands set by back shoulder, employs moderate leg kick timing mechanism, keeps hands inside leading to short compact stroke. Strong contact hitter that rarely strikes out, patient approach, will take what pitcher gives him and despite his strong contact skills is not afraid to take walks. Contact and approach are plus, but he lacks the quality of contact associated with a plus overall hit tool. Lots of hard ground balls but too many to his pullside, and a fringe number of liners. Will consistently give you a professional at bat but lacks the ability to maximize his natural gifts. Grade: 55
Power: Lacks significant power, most of his extra base hits are to the gaps. Will show the ability to turn on balls on the inner-half, but he lacks the loft to drive balls over the wall. Could be a swing change candidate that adds power in his late-20s. Below average power that will play up due to contact and speed. Grade: 40
Field: Fringe average fielder who's greatest value is in his versatility. Plays a below average shortstop, an average second base, and an fringe average left field. He's played every position on the diamond at some point. Likely to end up utility long term. First step is quick and he has range but his hands are below average and he'll often rush through plays and not take the extra second needed. Grade: 45
Arm: Below average arm that likely moves him off of short entirely. Plays fringe average in a corner outfield spot and at second. Lacks significant zip and carry needed. Grade: 40
Run: Above average runner that clocks plus home to first times, and has hustle on the base paths. However, he's an overly aggressive and below average base stealer running an unimpressive rate of success, despite strong totals. Still a valuable element of his game in both sides of the ball. Grade: 55
Overall: A classic bat first utility profile with versatility around the diamond. It's a contact over power profile and this lack of damage on contact dulls the overall profile some. As his bat will likely not provide enough impact to force his way into the everyday lineup. A valuable bench player for a good team with an ability to fill a variety of roles in a pinch without a significant offensive drop off.
