| Tool | Present | Future | Comments |
| Hit | 30 | 40 | Fastball hitter w/ less ability to barrel off-speed; aggressive swinger who expands zone at present. Hard game contact more from strength than quick hands; inside arm-bar could give issue getting to inner-half or velo upstairs. Power-first bat who never will hit for much average. |

Overall Summary
Bat-only profile with circus raw power. Extreme risk to profile given pressure on the offense and lack of fallback tools.
