Tool | Present | Future | Comments |
Hit | 40 | 60 | Hitterish at the plate w/ explosive hands and strong contact. Reads pitches well, lays off spin and hits w/ a plan. Early-count swinger w/ most contact to pullside; gets himself into bad counts at times right now, but can improve that w/ experience. Batspeed, approach, and pitch ID are that of a future above-avg hitter w/ continued development. |

Game Power | 30 | 50 | Hasn't fully unlocked plus raw power in games, but projects to be a 15-20 HR type bat at maturity as he learns to loft the ball more regularly. |

Field | 50 | 55 | Capable CF right now who projects above-avg w/ more reps and development. Accurate routes w/ quick first step; struggles w/ low liners hit right at him at times, but will clean that up. |

There's some risk to the profile given projection on improvements to approach and game power, but the ceiling is high. Has the tools to become an impactful above-avg CF, a potential all-star caliber producer at peak.
