Undersized backwards player who can run. Med. build. Matured phys. Built similar to Jason
Conti. Simple swing lends itself to contact. Works out of crouch and sits further down into
swing as he loads back. Hd path could be shortened up a bit. Batspd WBA. 30 raw power
makes it hard for him to shoot gaps. Ball comes off bat soft. Smart hitter who tracks ball well
but is prone to chase balls with late life out of strike zone. WBA avg arm forces him to LF.
Plus runner who is able to put his head down, run and then pick balls up later. Baseball
instincts lacking at times in OF, threw to unmanned base among other miscues. Needs more
time @ lower levels, will prob. come as an extra OF next yr. in High A. Not much of a
prospect for me.
