Tool | Present | Future | Comments |
Hit | 30 | 30 | Big muscle swing that is more strong than quick; long path w/ inside hole; expands the zone often, chasing pitches down/away; significant contact issues vs. same-side arms, a near-liability against lefties, even in A-Ball. |

Overall Summary
Slugging 1B without the hit tool to turn big raw power into game output. Serious struggles vs. LHP and better A-Ball arms. Bat-only prospect w/ no defensive or baserunning value. Projects as a high-ORG 1B/DH type who tops out in the high-minors.
