Tool | Present | Future | Comments |
Hit | 30 | 50 | Plus batspeed, quick hands through zone; slightly uphill stroke makes loud contact when he connects; swings and misses often, aggressive early in counts and struggles to ID spin. Fast bat allows offensive projection, young enough to shore up approach; raw tools of a future AVG hitter. |

Game Power | 30 | 50 | Swing-happy approach and limited pitch recognition will prevent 60 raw power from playing to full grade in games. Still has the strength and batspeed for AVG homerun power at maturity. |

Field | 50 | 60 | Could play OF in the big leagues now, speed allows him to get to balls quickly, tracks balls extremely well, knows environment, needs to communicate better with other OF's, tended to just charge in, future plus defender in CF. |

Overall Summary
High-ceiling prospect w/ extreme risk due to present swing/miss issues and strikeout rates. Has the ingredients of a 1st Division regular in CF, but won't reach full potential without improvements to contact and overall approach.
