| Tool | Present | Future | Comments |
| Hit | 40 | 45 | Two looks. Mostly showed line drive cut; stayed closed w hands in, barrel manipulation for hard contact, let ball travel and used opposite; showed ability to find barrel w two-strikes. Second look; trying to power up, overswings and whiffs, can do damage when connects. Projects better with quiet line drive approach. |

| Game Power | 40 | 45 | Better look was oriented to hard line drive, all-fields contact, ability to run into HRs on pitches up. Also showed big swing to max out power that doesn't project-- could add game power but hit tool will suffer. |

High-end bench bat who can hit; possible short-side platoon if he can find balance between hit and power tools.
