Dec 2020 Report
Evaluator: Eric Garfield
Age: 19 yr
Height: 6-0
Weight: 160 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2018 IFA, BOS
RuleV: 2022
Physical Description: Slender, athletic sinewy frame. Room to add significant weight/mass/muscle throughout chest, shoulders, back as maturity occurs. Longer arms/legs. Arm length stands out. Core strength not adequate. Bouncy, high energy mover on the field who has yet to transition fully from young man to man. Quick, efficient hands and wrists.
Hit: Waits in a coiled yet upright closed stance, knee bend slight. Hands held back and high close to the right earhole of his helmet. Advanced hand speed through hitting zone shows little reach/wasted motion. Consistently meets ball with barrel. Swing plane lacks finish/uppercut. Extension/plate coverage shows potential for advanced skill set due to arm length. Grade: 50
Power: Strength is an issue currently. 15 XBH in his first 220 AB as a teenager with little muscle including 3 HR. Offensive skill set not power dependent, currently built for contact with room to grow. Reports include optimism on raw and potential for in-game warning track pop. Grade: 40
Field: Instinctive fielder who shows a great first step. Tracking skills also advanced. Rarely takes a bad step. Routes are clean. Fundamental receiver who circles ball, gets to landing spots on time. Athletic strider. Pace, acceleration, finding ball in air seems like a veteran. A quality defender at a very early phase of development. Grade: 50
Arm: Reports vary. Puts body behind throws naturally. Average arm strength, accuracy. Fundamental thrower who can improve with more strength and practice. Glove ahead of arm. Grade: 45
Run: Above-average at all aspects of running. High top speed. Excellent burst out of the box. Shift from batter to runner is compact, fluid. Low, aggressive when sliding. Hits base with force. Picks spots to run intelligently. Potential for double digit SB total. Grade: 55
Overall: Long way to go but lots of positives already. Athletic and defensively skilled as an older teen, some physical changes and offensive development could turn him into a riser before age 21/22, not a bad return for a trade deadline Andrew Cashner. Translates his natural ability to accelerate and put power into his baseball movements to the field with ease. Toolsy and far from finished all the way around but talent has scouts on notice. A solid lotto ticket worth keeping an eye on.
