Light hitting corner OF who doesn't fit profile. Athletic lean body with wiry wrists. Not going to
put much weight on from looks of it. Poor balance in swing. High hds w/no trigger. Lwr 1/2 is too
active. Body moves out but hds never get back. Ball comes off very soft. Doesn't make gd
contact. Can't turn on anything. Soft pull. Blown away by below avg FB's. Offensive tools aren't
there. WBA bat spd and strength. Avg runner with solid instincts on bases. Well below avg arm,
bounced ball from 90 ft. Poor routes and instincts limit him to LF. Lacks arm for RF and pure
reads and routes for CF. Profile is short, not going to hit for avg or power and lacks defensive
abilities. Needs more AB's. Should spend next yr in Low A if org. wants him to get AB's. Don't
see him getting out of A ball. No prospect.
