| Tool | Present | Future | Comments |
| Hit | 45 | 55 | Some length to path, but has strength+batspeed to cover inside hole. Staying on pitches low/away better than previous looks, has opened up the other part of the field and it shows. Excellent contact ability and bat-to-ball skill for a power hitter; sqaures up numerous speeds to all parts of the zone. |

| Raw Power | 60 | 70 | Easy plus raw; ball jumps off the bat w/ loft and strength to all parts of the park; absolutely destroys middle/in spot for towering pullside drives. Puts on a BP show. |

| Run | 45 | 40 | Runs better underway than up the line, moves well for size when he gets going. Speed won't be huge part of his game, but runs bases w/ noticeable instincts. Reads defenses, knows the situation, frequently takes extra bases. Body type to lose a step as he ages. |

| Field | 40 | 45 | Has work to do to stick at 3B. Range, first step, and hands could cause a move to 1B; not a sure lock to move, but already gets reps at 1B and will only be a playable hot corner defender at best. |

| Throw | 55 | 55 | Above-avg arm-strength, easy carry across the infield. Helps his chances of remaining at 3B, though won't come into play as much if he moves across the dirt to 1B. |

Overall Summary
Has shored up aspects of his hit tool and contact skill, now looking like one of baseball's better prospects with excellent offensive upside. Ceiling of impactful middle-of-the-lineup bat, above-average hit/on-base producer with plus power. Has star potential, especially if he can stick at 3B; dominating A-Ball competition and looks polished enough to come quick; could reach the big leagues by late 2020 at earliest.
