Young INF who doesn't have a whole lot to project on from a physical perspective. Med. frame
short legs, large upper body. Thick through thighs and rear. Only going to get bigger and heavier
as he gets older. Good athlete who has feet to play SS right now, worry that he will outgrow
position as he gets heavier. Sets up well at plate. Open, slight crouch, load is down from head to
shoulders. Loose quick hands. GD hd eye coord. Contact is soft and needs to be more consis.
Doesn't center ball with enuf regularity. Approach will need continued refinement as he is getting
by at this point on coordination and ability to put ball in play. Not going to get much stronger
and I don't see him running into any better than below avg power down the line. Avg runner right
now who should lose a step as he matures. Flashy plus actions in field to go along with a near
plus plus arm. Moves in and throws from multiple angles. Athleticism to adjust on poor hops.
Everything is low to ground and smooth. Easy carry on throws with desirable flip, flashes 70 if
he needs it in hole. Young errors, careless throws and unexplainable bobbles.  Don't see him
having bat to play SS and will prob. not have quickness down line to stay there. Best suited for
roving backup INF role @ big league level, not an everyday guy but valuable nonetheless.
