| Hit | 40 | 50 | Impressive balance and batspeed from both sides; still learning two swings, overall barrel control is limited; more hitterish from LH side, shows situational awareness and can direct contact both ways. Athleticism to project up on hit tool; pure 45 bat-to-ball skill could play to 50 because of plus speed. |

Overall Summary
Limited baseball reps, excellent athleticism, and switch-hitting profile allow large projection to hit tool. Ceiling of low-end regular in CF that’s realistically a solid role player/4th OF on contending club. Speed and defense make him likely to fill at least a bench role.
