Dec 2020 Report
Evaluator: Joe Drake
Age: 26 yr
Height: 6-4
Weight: 225 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2016 Draft - Round 4
RuleV: On 40-man
Physical Description: Strong, lean, athletic build; High waist with long limbs and muscled thighs. Quintessential athlete body that could play any sport. Quick, explosive, and fast. Body is mature, room for 5-10 pounds at most.
Hit: Mostly upright stance, feet shoulder-width, hands low at waist; slight rock; Crouches at coil (moderate), hands travel up; Long stride, back side dips at launch position; Average bat control; some definite swing and miss; Battles in the box, patient hitter who works counts and spoils good pitches; Average grasp of strike zone. Works to find something he can drive; Enough bat speed to do damage when he squares it up Grade: 50
Power: Good bat speed generated from quick, strong hands. Swing change added loft and will let him get to more power in games. Legs to stretch plenty of singles into doubles, doubles into triples. Adjustments have heeded improved results, dropped hands this off-season from previous shoulder height load. New setup has generated an improved bat path, tighter launch angles, and an upgrade in loft and quality of contact. Grade: 50
Field: Relatively new to OF/CF (2B in college), below-average read off the bat. Excellent range; can close on almost anything once he finds it. Routes leave something to be desired, but to be expected with inexperience. Former infielder; average actions fielding the ball, occasional misplays, gets into position to throw. Can see a path to average defense if reads and routes improve. Grade: 45
Arm: Solid mechanics with average arm action; accurate, stays through the ball; arm strength is fringe-average when he gets his body into it, below-average when he doesn't; some arc to long throws, can miss cut. Fine for center/left, too weak for right Grade: 45
Run: Blazing, double-plus speed. Clocked a 3.93 Home to 1st.; Quick first step, accelerates quickly and great speed underway; Lots of range for CF. Likes to run and has plenty of base stealing potential; Pitcher's nightmare on the basepaths. Should stay athletic enough to maintain most of his speed as he matures Grade: 70
Overall: Terrific athlete who has dominated younger competition as a pro. No real carrying tool, more of a "sum of the parts" guy with true double-plus speed. He's got a bag full of fringe tools with a chance to be average. If the skills improve, has the talent to be an impact bat at the top of the order and 1st division CF. If they don't, he's a speed-only 4th OF.
