Dec 2020 Report

Evaluator: Jason Gold

Age: 24 yr
Height: 6-1
Weight: 210 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2015 IFA, LAD
RuleV: Eligible

Physical Description: Tall, projectable frame with some lean bulk. Narrow shoulders and a wider lower half.

Hit: Hit tool is his calling card. Short, compact swing without a lot of moving parts affords good barrel control, high contact rates and lower swing and miss tendencies. Advanced feel for the strike zone will produce an above average on base percentage. Grade: 55

Power: Inconsistent game power with above average potential. Has not shown an ability to use his power effectively in game situations yet, but solid mechanics with more lower half involvement and a consistent attack angle leave room for projection. Grade: 50

Field: Average runner with good first step instincts allows him to play average across all outfield positions, but will probably settle into a corner outfield spot as his frame further matures. Grade: 50

Arm: Above average arm at all outfield positions. Short, clean throwing mechanics with good instincts for momentum and body inertia. Can be a plus defensive right fielder with his combination of arm and instincts. Grade: 55

Run: Good physical tools with poor base-running instincts. Average pure speed, but likely to lose some as his frame matures more. Benefits from his speed in the outfield, but lacks impact on the base paths. Grade: 50

Overall: Inconsistent but flashes the tools of a potential everyday corner outfielder. Good hitter with the possibility for above-average game power. Still young and fairly projectable, could settle in as an everyday hitter in the lower third of the lineup who gets on base at an above average clip. More likely outcome is a solid platoon or bench piece.
