Dec 2020 Report
Evaluator: James Chipman
Age: 24 yr
Height: 5-11
Weight: 185 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2015 Draft - Round 4
RuleV: On 40-Man Roster
Physical Description: Short and stocky. Medium frame. Sturdy, well proportioned build. Sloping muscular shoulders; strong core; thick strong lower half. Noticeable upper body strength and big strong forearms. Quick-twitch athleticism. Limited physical projection remains.
Hit: Square stance; hands above the letters; upright stance with a slight crouch and wide base. Toe tap timing mechanism during load. Quick, strong hands generate solid average bat speed. Short compact swing; quick to the ball. Linear bat path with modest loft. Has pitch recognition and knowledge of the zone; consistently walks at an above-average or better clip, padding the overall hit tool value. Patient not passive line drive approach; waits for something he can drive. Lacks discipline: below-average strikeout rates; exposed by above-average velocity and average or better secondaries. Potential fringe-average tool that's likely settles below-average. Hit tool will ultimately determine big league future and role. Grade: 40
Power: Fringe-average raw in BP. Approach and bat path limits over-the-fence power potential. Essentially a line drive machine that can pepper the gaps with well struck balls when he's hot. A slap and dash guy whose wheels should help him pad extra-base stats. Hit tool deficiencies likely sap overall in-game power production. Grade: 30
Field: Above-average defender. Reads the ball well off the bat. Solid routes to the ball. Athleticism, instincts and double-plus speed help mitigate occasional mistakes. Covers plenty of ground; great at tracking balls to both sides and retreating back towards the wall. Occasionally tested and beat coming in on balls. Overall a solid and capable above-average defender. Grade: 55
Arm: Fringe-average velocity. Shows optimal carry but lacks consistency. Probably stretched in RF but solid enough to hand in a pinch. Sound fundamentals on tag-ups, gears up and gets everything behind it; max-effort throws with moderate accuracy. Grade: 50
Run: Double-plus speed with regular 4.10 to 4.17 clocks down the line. Quick out of the box; reaches top speed quickly and moves well around the bases. Smart instinctual runner with a track record of taking extra bases. Will go first-to-third and stretch singles into doubles when opportunity permits. Big league stolen base potential likely significantly sapped by hit tool deficiencies; impact potential with improved consistency at the plate. Utilizes speed well on defense, gliding smoothly from gap to gap; speed helps mitigate defensive mistakes. Grade: 70
Overall: Hit tool maturation will ultimately influence big league role. Regardless, speed and defensive profile and impact speed are likely strong enough to provide solid role 40, platoon or bench potential.
