Nov 2020 Report

Physical Description: Ideal frame. High waisted, but well built. Needs to add strength and mass, but that will come as he physically matures. Exactly how you want J2 prospects to develop.
Hit: Starts swing with a toe tap for timing mechanism and brings front back back behind back knee before recoil. Above average bat speed and quick hands, but long limbs can be somewhat concerning trying hit velocity. Don't think that issue exists here though. High strikeout numbers early on during instructs but can't put much stock into those without knowing the context. Grade: 50
Power: High probability of future plus power here as he matures and adds to the lanky frame. The swing is built for 20+ homers annually but that will come with time. Easy loft and ball jumps off barrel. Grade: 50
Field: Moves like a shortstop. Glides with quick hands, and good feet. Puts body in proper position and has a strong internal clock. Grade: 45
Arm: Throwing mechanics and footwork are sound. Arm will improve as he adds muscle to frame. Could develop into a future plus tool. Very accurate arm. Grade: 55
Run: Quick twitch athlete but just lacks present foot speed. That will likely come as he adds mass. Chance it becomes a plus tool. Grade: 50
Overall: A lot of unknown here with Made but a lot to like with what we know so far. Biggest glaring weakness is a lack of strength, but that's not something to be concerned with for an 18 year-old just entering pro ball. There are the ingredients here for a potential above average shortstop on both sides of the ball, and that's an exciting player.
