Dec 2020 Report
Evaluator: Tyler Jennings
Age: 18 yr
Height: 6-2
Weight: 220 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2020 Draft - Round 3
RuleV: 2024
Physical Description: Very young for draft class, as he reclassified to 2020 from 2021. Frame is nearly filled out, with a body that is physically mature. Maintaining his body is something to watch for, as his body is not primed to age well. Has lost weight and is making a solid effort at maintaining his body.
Hit: Wide stance with a subtle leg kick that he uses as his trigger. Hands start low, has insane bat speed and makes very loud contact. Drives his hips very well. Has previously struggled against older competition on the summer circuit, which does bring about questions regarding the hit tool. Some believe he could make enough contact to be average, but likely to be below-to-fringe average hitter. Grade: 45
Power: Easily Jordan's best tool and is his likely carrying tool. Has good natural loft to his swing and generates power very well. Drives the ball with authority to all fields of the park. Projected to be a plus power tool throughout the minors, due to bat speed, raw strength, and natural loft. Could develop into a barrel machine in the best case scenario. Grade: 60
Field: Due to his big body, his days at third base are likely numbered. His speed hurts his range and he will likely find himself being a first baseman at the big league level. Hands are a bit noisy and the footwork isn't the prettiest. Due to weight loss, his mobility has improved, but isn't likely to stave off a move across the diamond. Grade: 45
Arm: Arm strength is present, but will not be enough to stay at third base. Fringe-average to average tool. Grade: 45
Run: At 6'2", 220 pounds, he does not move particularly well. Not the greatest baserunner. Below-average at best. Grade: 40
Overall: The questions about the hit tool will persist. His power will be his dominant trait moving through Boston's system, and a move to first baseman is nearly certain despite his efforts to improve his body. If he can hit against older competition when minor league ball resumes, could be an average tool. High risk player.
