Lively latin MIF who doesn't do a lot offensively. Med. athletic build. Resembles Royals SS
Angel Berrora. Very raw from an offensive standpoint. generates fringy raw batspd but poor
approach undermines tools. No knowledge of strike zone. Consis. chases out of zone. Gets
jammed in BP. Excess bat waggle and movements early in swing make it hard for him to hit square
bat up and make good contact. Hits the ball the other way, more from a lack of getting around on
anything than an advanced approach. Power will never be better than WBA, not strong enuf
phys. to drive the ball out of the park on rare occ. he makes good contact. Below avg runner who
looks like he should run better. GD actions and fast feet around SS. Occ. feet get tangled and he is
left in an unathletic fielding pos. but he generally has good body control. Solid avg arm strength is
hampered by a lengthy slow release. Hands are soft and brings ball in with ease. Makes typ.
young SS errors. Defensive skills will keep him around for a few more years but he won't hit enuf
@ AA level to advance any further.
