Nov 2020 Report

Evaluator: Jake Boes

Age: 23 yr
Height: 6-1
Weight: 190 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2019 Draft - Round 3
RuleV: 2022

Physical Description: Ordinary build; athletic frame with room to add strength throughout. Legs have definition but room to add with maturity. List height and weight of 6'1" 190 pounds appears accurate.

Hit: Open stance; hands at the letters with a cocked back elbow; shoulders relaxed with weight favoring the backside. Pronounced leg kick early in counts that will shift to a small pivot with two strikes; will also choke up when behind. Fringe-average hit tool; contact-emphasized approach; stroke will get long against spin; bat stays in the zone a long time. Approach will dilute quality contact and limit walks and strikeouts both. Grade: 45

Power: Flashes raw power but plays below average in-game; approach not conducive to over-the-fence power. Raw power and physical projection remaining should allow power to play fringe-average. Grade: 45

Field: Quick feet and smooth transfers with soft hands; makes expected plays. Steady defender at each position he plays. Grade: 50

Arm: Above-average arm strength; should have enough to play anywhere in the dirt. Good throwing mechanics; sets feet nicely. Will throw up the line occasionally. Accuracy makes the arm play average despite above-average strength. Grade: 50

Run: Currently an average runner with 4.3 times home to first. Will likely lose a step with physical maturity; can do little things well like tag up or take an extra base, but will not be a base-stealing threat. Grade: 45

Overall: No loud carrying tools present risk for the profile, but does enough things to be a utility-type on an MLB roster. Making quality contact more consistently is key to an everyday future, but more likely a utility or platoon type with some pop.
