| Tool | Present | Future | Comments |
| Hit | 40 | 45 | Not a natural hitter, but draws walks and knows how to get a FB he can drive; stiff, off-balance stroke struggles to barrel off-speed or go the other way; beaten by well-located spin or velocity up in the zone. Future low-average hitter who draws walks and produces power. |

| Game Power | 40 | 45 | Has the raw for 15-20 HRs over a full season, but don't think he will get enough ABs in his likely role. Power-focused approach will always run into some homers. |

| Raw Power | 50 | 50 | Avg ML raw power; drives fly balls to pullside; doesn't have the same juice to the big part of the field in BP. |

| Field | 40 | 45 | Big body in the middle infield without desired quickness or lateral agility; stiff actions at 2B w/ slow transfer starting 4-6-3 DP. Size and actions fit better at 3B but still has work to do to be a playable defensive infielder. |

| Throw | 40 | 45 | Below-avg arm at 2B given slow transfer and issues throwing on the run. Playable at 3B with his feet set, but has similar issues finishing throws on the charge. |

Overall Summary
Bat-first infielder lacking a true position, but could hit his way into a big league role. Profiles as a bench player who moves between 3B, 2B, and might get time at 1B/LF to add versatility.
