| Tool | Present | Future | Comments |
| Hit | 30 | 45 | Smooth LH stroke w/ balance and fluidity. Shows some natural leverage, though lack of strength limits what’s behind present game contact. Gets pull-happy and will need to stay focused on using big part of the field. Has hitting tools to project on if he gets stronger. |

| Field | 45 | 50 | Fluid, grateful actions look the part in the MIF. Moves between 2B and 3B right now, though offensive profile and defensive ability all fit best at 2B. Less comfortable at 3B, especially playing out of position in the shift. |

Overall Summary
Ceiling of hit-first bench infielder w/ defensive versatility. Don’t see offensive impact or carry tool for regular ML role. Really needs to get stronger, won't have ML value unless he does more w/ the bat, required offensive projection adds extreme risk.
