MIF with lots of pluses. Large muscular frame. Flat shoulders, strong forearms and trim waist.
High pockets. Developed lower 1/2 has gotten bigger since spring. Built like Bobby Crosby.
Doesn't move around with loads of athleticism, walks around awkwardly on toes. Balanced swing
with strength and bat spd. Sets up about should. width apart, sets bat on shoulder towards head
but lifts them up and back into classic high hd setup as he gets ready. Smooth load puts him in gd
position to unload. Toe tapper but there's not a ton of lateral movement with his feet and he
manages to keep it pretty quiet. Mild uppercut produces the right amount of loft in swing.
Strength to drive ball out to all parts of field. Ball doesn't come off bat quite like it did with wood
but still jumps. Too long right now as he is trying to do too much. Mistake hitter. Guessing
prone @ times and can look really bad. Chance to hit for plus game power as he tightens up
swing and approach. Avg runner who gets out of box a bit slow. Takes pride in defense. Should
stay @ SS. Plus arm is full of effort but consis. online carry once it leaves hand. Arm acc. should
be solid with continued play. Pure SS actions. Stays behind ball well, quick feet and reactive hds
allow him to make athletic body control plays. Sitting back too long on routine balls right now.
Intense competitor who doesn't know how to fail. Will be interesting to see how he deals with
adversity. Only knows how to play at one speed, will need to back off a little as it's impossible
to stay as wired as he does over full season. Chance to hit .280 with 25HRyr @ ML level while
playing a premium position.
