Athletic MIF who is learning how to play the game. Med. frame. Lower 1/2 developed. Narrow
upper body. Strength coming but has yet to translate to game. Sets up pre loaded like his brother.
No stride. Doesn't have strength or batspeed for swing. Contact is weak in BP and game. Can't
drive a ball into the gap. Aggressive, hits early in ct. Hands blown up by avg stuff. Can't see him
developing into big league hitter, while I am sure he has made some strides since signing he is still
a long, long way away from being anything more than an easy out. Swing isn't projectable, doesn't
make gd contact so you can't see any power developing. Fringe avg runner, out of the box quick.
Runs hard. Doesn't have defensive tools to be a SS. Arm strength fringy, playable @ 2B. Hands
not very soft and he is prone to careless errors and unnecessary throws. He will be pushed and
given every opp. to move up based on where he was drafted and who his bro is. Will find it very
diff. to get out of AA.
