| Tool | Present | Future | Comments |
| Hit | 30 | 45 | Raw hit tool that needs reps, shaking off rust after missing all of 2018. Front foot gets down late+causes bat to drag, but correctable. Lots of swing/miss within the zone, showed give against RH breaking stuff. Has tools to hit at ML level, just needs refinement. |

| Game Power | 30 | 45 | At least 12-15 HR type w/ plenty of doubles. Has the strength for more, but will need to make real gains in the contact department to unlock it. |

| Raw Power | 45 | 50 | Strength, batspeed here to generate power; doesn't swing up on the ball much, but it's in the tank; above-avg power potential for middle infielder. |

| Field | 40 | 50 | Lackadaisical fundamentals on routine play, staying upright and stabbing at balls w/ one hand. Has the requisite athleticism, range, and body control for the position, just needs to clean up mechanics. |

| Throw | 55 | 60 | Easy above-avg arm w/ strong carry across the infield, especially impressive given recent shoulder surgery. Hints arm could grow to a true plus as he builds strength back. |

Overall Summary
Excellent athlete w/ loads of physical gifts. Has the raw tools of a power-hitting SS, though contact ability could always stand in the way of true offensive impact. More realistically finishes as a low-end regular or toolsy role player w/ some pop.
