Dec 2020 Report
Evaluator: James Chipman
Age: 24 yr
Height: 6-4
Weight: 225 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2015 Draft - Round CBA, COL
RuleV: On 40-Man Roster
Physical Description: Tall frame; square shoulders; lean, mature strength over bulk; durable build. Plus makeup. Average athleticism and instincts. Has bloodlines: son of former first overall pick and All-Star Phil Nevin. Injury history includes: Tommy John surgery in High School, hamstring (2016), broken hand (2017) and two separate quad injuries (2018).
Hit: Square stance; high hands; busy setup; upright stance and wide base. Deep load and modest toe-tap trigger. Quick strong hands generate plus bat speed. Impressive hand eye coordination; smooth swing; great extension. Solid bat-to-ball skills. Long levers naturally yield a rather long swing, making him susceptible to average or better off-speed. Advanced approach: patient not passive; shows the ability to walk at a solid clip and limit strikeouts. Grinds out long at-bats. Polished hitter that should easily reach his projected ceiling at the plate. Grade: 55
Power: Shows above-average raw in BP; HR predominately to the opposite field. Hits the ball hard often, just fails to consistently lift. All fields line drive approach; swing plane and approach limit over-the-fence game time pop. Shows the ability to produce a respectable amount of extra-base hits, but likely just a fringe-average tool against big league pitching. Grade: 45
Field: Likely a 1B only profile; has also received reps at 3B and corner OF though. Solid average defender at 1B. Shows soft hands; able to get good extension off the base; good pick; works well around the base; lacks large range but enough to play; not highly athletic but can handle 1B with ease. Slow first-step at 3B; solid body control; shows mobility to the ground; steady hands and smooth actions. Appears at times like he's playing in slow-motion; the game just speeds up on him at times. Limited looks in OF. Appears to have a solid first step; fringy reads and routes; range is slightly below-average. Ability to play there in a pinch; not optimal full time or long term. Lack of ability and limited athleticism likely push him to 1B with occasional depth spells at 3B. Grade: 50
Arm: Average arm strength, capable of starting a solid double play. Throws have carry, hold plane, accurate from the line; careful and accurate feeding pitchers at first while playing 3B. Solid average tool. Grade: 50
Run: Well below-average runner down the line; takes some time to get out of the box and reach his cruising speed. Short strides; isn't a threat to steal or go first to third; won't clog the bases or run into many outs. Instinctual runner that shows slightly better than his well below-average speed. Grade: 40
Overall: Modest second-division regular potential if the power exceeds my expectations; more realistically a solid bench bat or platoon corner infielder that sees the bulk of his time at 1B.
