Gd baseball player short on pure tools. Needs to get AB's in order to have a chance @
developing. Gd baseball body. Compact frame with some wiry strength. Built similar to a
young Michael Young. Not esp. athletic in his movements. Not a swing I can get behind. Stiff.
Looks uncomft. in swing. Back elbow sits straight out behind him. Open stance. Steep swing
path, barrel doesn't spend a ton of time in strike zone. Bad rhythm with jerky stride-doesn't
bring ft back sq. WBA BS. Extra short hd path. Hard to center ball consis. Power nonexistent.
Slow out of box but doesn't run very well under way either. Value to org. will be on other side
of baseball. Easy avg arm from SS. Chance to have solid accuracy. Okay set of hds. Stays with
play well. Lacks range and footwork to play SS @ upper levels. Belongs on other side of bag
where he may be able to hide some inconsis. in defensive game. Bat isn't going to play for me
and I can't see him sticking @ SS in order to create some org. value. Needs to spend next yr @
Low A. May get a cup of coffee @ AA but based on limited look he's a NP for me.
