Comments:
MIF with some versatility to play around INF. Med. build similar to Mark Loretta. Phys.
mature. Sets up open @ plate and never gets closed. Swings over pitches. Mediocre batspd.
Poor balance-lunges in BP. Will go down to a knee on some swings. 35 raw power plays @
bottom of scale. Low ball first pitch hitter who dumps balls the other way. Makes his living on
Texas Leaguers over 1B. Struggles to get around on balls where he lifts his hds up. Puts ball in
play though and shows off an advanced feel for strike zone but his patience carries little value
with no power to complement it. Avg runner who gets out of box slow but is better under way.
Below avg arm is playable across INF due to quick release and what projects to be solid acc.
despite stiff poor A/A. Nothing is smooth or easy but he made the plays and should be able to
@ next level. Value is as an INF rover @ AA level in reserve role. Not enuf bat or pop to get
excited.
