Comments:
LHH INF with some versatility. Not very physical. Small, immature build. Wiry strong despite
outward appearance. Mature face, don't know if there is much left in body from a projection
perspective. Sets up out of a crouch, open stance. Hands set low and circle down and back. Line
drive stroke, makes clean contact but hard to see him driving ball in the future. Minimal bat spd.
Lower half works well in swing but can't make up for lack of strength and hand speed. Bucket
hitter who still struggles to catch up to below avg FB. Forced to slap balls that stronger hitters
can drive hard. Approach is a touch to pull side, contact very soft the other way. Pulls off on occ.
No power. Hard time seeing him hit more than a couple HR/year in upper minors. Despite lack of
offensive tools he has quality AB's and controls strike zone very well. Clutch offensive player.
Below avg runner who should be an avg baserunner down the line albeit not a base stealer by any
means. Solid defender, stays behind ball well and has a quick transfer on double play. Capable of
playing across INF @ lower levels but lack of arm strength and range will catch up with him.
Defensive versatility should allow him to hang around @ AA level for a bit in an extra INF role
but that will be a stretch for his bat. No Prospect.
