Comments:
Corner INF with interesting array of tools. Loose XL frame. Body is projectable but hasn't
matured yet. Simple setup and stroke at plate. SL bat spd. Dips. Stiff actions @ plate. Swing long
early in count but otherwise a bit too short given leverage he could create with long arms. No
extension or lift in swing. Gives up early on offspd. Rolls over. Doesn't consis. center baseball
and contact soft. WBA raw power plays near poor in game. Doesn't bring much offensively. Plus
runner, grinder. Soft hands and avg range for 1B. Doesn't have the arm to play 3rd. Should see
some time on an OF corner before career is up. Doesn't have enuf bat for power positions he can
handle defensively. Not a prospect. May get a shot @ AA next year but still hasn't shown he can
do a whole lot with A ball pitching.
