Physical Description
Lean, athletic frame w/ tapered features. Special athlete.
Swing Mechanics
Narrow base, slightly open, medium handset. Simple overall setup w/ minimal pre-pitch movement. Starts his load late, front foot is tardy--correctable, but late on good FBs at times right now.

| Tool | Present | Future | Comments |
| Hit | 40 | 55 | Fast hands, scorching contact when he squares one up. Youthful and aggressive approach at present, looks to swing early in counts and do damage. Hooked path, most contact to pullside, FB hitter w/ consistent issue barreling soft stuff. Some rawness to hit tool but has the ingredients for .260-.275 averages if approach can refine. |

| Game Power | 40 | 50 | Doesn't fully show in games yet, but starting to come out. Hits too far off his front foot to backspin the ball consistently right now, but can get there. 15-20 HR potential. |

| Raw Power | 55 | 60 | Big league raw power in the tank right now, ball jumps off the bat w/ flyball loft to pullside. Still growing into his man strength, will add a bit more. |

| Run | 60 | 60 | Plus runner, accelerates well up the line despite big swing, consistent SB threat. Has 20+ SB upside, needs to be more aggressive swiping bags. |

| Field | 70 | 70 | Elite defensive CF, impacts games w/ his glove. Routinely takes away XBHs and makes spacious outfields look small. Gold glove potential in CF, human highlight reel. |

Overall Summary
Dynamic five-tool player who impacts the game on the bases and both sides of the ball. Excellent outfield defense could technically help at ML level right now, but will be served in the long run getting another year to polish bat in AA/AAA. Ceiling of all-star CF, 20/20 upside in prime.
