Nov 2020 Report
Evaluator: Trevor Hooth
Age: 23 yr
Height: 6-1
Weight: 191 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2019 Draft - Round 2
RuleV: 2022
Physical Description: Wiry with a long torso and long legs. Potentially some room for growth on the frame, but not much.
Hit: Square stance. Hands held up near his head with a bat wiggle. Small leg kick. Hands don't move far during load to get into position. Short compact swing. Simple mechanics and short to the ball. Good bat to ball skills. Can go the opposite way, but some of that comes from being behind on velocity. Patient hitter, but doesn't draw many walks. Will strikeout more from being too patient than swinging and missing. He shows good recognition of the strike zone and pitch recognition. Grade: 50
Power: Any power he has will come from his quick hands. His swing is geared to hit line drives. Occasionally might run into one to lift over the fence, but mostly will find gap power.Does show the ability to drive the ball to all fields. Grade: 40
Field: Can make the plays at second base. Range isn't spectacular, but will play well enough to warrant a spot in the lineup. Grade: 50
Arm: The arm works. He won't be a utility guy based on arm strength, but it works for the short throws from second base. Grade: 45
Run: Not going to steal. There won't be any range added because of his speed either. He's not notably slow, by any means. Grade: 45
Overall: A plethora of average or near average tools give him a future at second base for the Cubs. At his best, he fits a leadoff profile of working counts and making contact. He's comfortable in any count and not afraid to take pitches he doesn't like, which gets him in trouble at times. The short compact swing along with bat to ball skills will play enough to cancel out any questions defensively.
