Nov 2020 Report
Evaluator: Jake Kerns
Age: 27 yr
Height: 5-8
Weight: 175 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2016 Draft - Round 25
RuleV: Eligible
Physical Description: Short and maxed out but compensates with athleticism and hustle. Looks like a 2B. Charismatic in the field and superstitious in the box. Max effort player. Fun to watch on the diamond.
Hit: Significant movement pre-pitch. Big leg kick. Uses his whole body as he loads. Takes big cuts, but quickly gets through the zone. Possesses plus bat speed. Average pitch recognition. Aggressiveness at the plate and his big swings lead to a lot of swing and miss. Grade: 40
Power: Uses his size as leverage and attacks the ball with the intent of driving it. Has the power to put the ball out regularly if he connects. Grade: 50
Field: Good reaction times at 2B. Moves well laterally but range is limited by his size. Transfers ball from glove well. High effort fielder not afraid of laying out for the ball. Fits best at 2B. Would be well below-average at SS due to range and arm. Fringe-average at 3B based on arm. Could play LF. Tool plays up because of his hustle. Grade: 50
Arm: Average arm strength. Ball lacks carry out of hand. Can make the routine throws from 2B. Grade: 50
Run: Hustles out of the box and runs with some effort. Capable of beating out grounders. Timed around 4.25 down the line from the right side. Can hit an extra gear rounding 1st and grab an extra bag. Good base stealer. Grade: 55
Overall: Older than most prospects. Diminutive in size but plays all out and looks like a big leaguer because of it. Lacks the hitting ability to be a regular on the dirt, but his other tools translate to a utility/bench role with a bit more improvement and consistency. Without that, Giambrone is a likely injury replacement.
OFP: 35
