Polished player. Sculpted player. First round body. May put on some more weight with time
but there isn't a ton or room. Very nice swing. Balanced setup and small swirly load sets his
hds very well. Gd base to work from. Generates easy avg batspd. Clean path, hds short to ball
with gd extension and lift after contact. Sq. ball up w/ease and contact is loud with late extra
carry. No obvious holes in swing. Strong avg raw power is mostly to pull side but shows no
predisposition for pull heavy approach. Polished feel for strike zone should allow power to
play @ or very near to raw. Puts himself into hitting counts where he can unload on balls. Has
hitting mechanics to go after it a bit. Other tools avg across board. Throws and runs solid.
Defense should solidify as he begins to become more comfortable playing one position. Lacks
pure speed and plus routes to project him as an everyday CF but should put in the work nec.
to become avg in LF. Chance to be avg big league LF, power and avg won't be impact but solid.
